Celtic and Rangers B discover first and second round SPFL Trust Trophy opponents

Celtic and Rangers B have found out who they will play in the first and second round of this year's SPFL Trust Trophy.

It's a competition that has undergone much change in the last few years, with various clubs from across the UK involved at different stages. This year, Northern Irish champions Linfield alongside fellow Danske Bank Premiership side Cliftonville will play in the competition as will The New Saints and Caernarfon Town from the JD Cymru Premier in Wales.

Cross-border clubs first joined the revamped set-up in 2016/17, but their involvement has been paused since season 2019/20 because of the pandemic. Four Lowland League clubs – Cowdenbeath, East Kilbride, The Spartans and East Stirlingshire – joined the first round draw, alongside Fraserburgh, Buckie Thistle, Brechin City and Brora Rangers as the Highland League’s four representatives. Hearts and Hibs' youth squads came in as unseeded teams in the north section of this draw.
