Bishopton Ladies and St Mirren Women have both been knocked out of the ScottishPower National League Cup following quarter-final defeats on Sunday, 1st November 2026.<\/p>\n

Bishopton suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat to Elgin City, while St Mirren lost 3-0 to last year’s winners Stirling University.<\/p>\n

Elgin City reached their first senior women’s cup semi-final after surviving a second-half comeback from Bishopton.<\/p>\n

Following a goalless first half, the visitors from Moray raced into a 3-0 lead early in the second period.<\/p>\n

Bishopton fought back with two goals from substitute Catriona Mcallister, but Elgin held on to secure their place in the last four.<\/p>\n

St Mirren’s cup campaign also came to an end as Stirling University scored three unanswered goals to progress to the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Greenock Morton defeated last season’s runners-up Dryburgh Athletic 1-0 in Dundee, with Elidh Drain scoring the only goal of the match.<\/p>\n

Stenhousemuir completed the semi-final line-up following a 5-3 victory over Inverurie Loco Works at Ochilview.<\/p>\n

Inverurie scored twice within five minutes to take an early lead, but Stenhousemuir recovered to score three goals before half-time, with centre forward Cerys Corey playing an important role in the comeback.<\/p>\n

Inverurie equalised after an hour, but Stenhousemuir finished strongly to secure their place in the next round.<\/p>\n

The four clubs progressing to the ScottishPower National League Cup semi-finals are Elgin City, Stirling University, Greenock Morton and Stenhousemuir.<\/p>\n

In the ScottishPower Regional League Cup, Drumchapel United defeated SWFL East leaders Musselburgh Windsor 4-0, while Aberdeen West End recorded a 1-0 victory over Murieston United.<\/p>\n

The ScottishPower Youth Challenge Cup semi-finals also took place over Halloween weekend in Blairgowrie.<\/p>\n

At under-14 level, Forfar Farmington and Bonnyrigg Rose progressed to the final after victories over St Mirren and Central Girls respectively.<\/p>\n

Bonnyrigg Rose also reached the under-16 final, with their YPL Manson side defeating Ross County 2-0. They will face East Fife, who required penalties to overcome Livingston.<\/p>\n

The under-18 final will be contested between Aberdeen City and Dunfermline Athletic Whites.<\/p>\n

Aberdeen City defeated Inverness Caledonian Thistle 3-1, while Dunfermline Athletic Whites secured a 4-2 victory over Rossvale.<\/p>\n
