It’s a historic occasion for Renfrew this weekend as they take part in their first ever game in the Scottish Cup.

The New Western Park side gained their SFA licence towards the end of last season which made them eligible for promotion to the Lowland League West, and secured their name in the hat for the country’s oldest cup competition.

Frew host Lowland League East outfit Broxburn Athletic, who have made an impressive start to the season having lost just once in their opening nine league games.

Ryan Borris and Jimmy Quigley’s troops should feel full of confidence themselves, however, despite Saturday’s late defeat to Johnstone Burgh.

Renfrew had won three games in a row before that with impressive results and performances over Pollok and Beith getting their league campaign up and running.

Kick-off at New Western Park on Saturday is 3pm.
