  • The East of Scotland Shield is a Scottish football trophy awarded by the East of Scotland Football Association. The only older cup competition in Scottish football is the Scottish Cup. The tournament is the third-oldest in world football still competed for annually, after the FA Cup and the Scottish Cup. The next oldest tournament in world football is the Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior Cup; the next oldest tournament in Scottish football is the Renfrewshire Cup. The competition was initially known as the Edinburgh F.A. Cup. Hibernian won the Cup outright by winning it in three successive years from 1879 to 1881, which meant that it was renamed the East of Scotland Shield. It played a significant part in establishing Hibernian ("Hibs") and Heart of Midlothian ("Hearts") as the predominant football clubs in Edinburgh, as the 1878 Edinburgh Cup went to four replays and built interest in the two newly formed clubs. The competition was a knockout tournament for football clubs based in Edinburgh and the surrounding area. Besides Hearts and Hibs, these clubs included Alloa Athletic, Armadale, Bathgate, Berwick Rangers, Bo'ness, Bonnyrigg Rose, Cowdenbeath, Edinburgh University, Leith Athletic, Lochgelly United, Meadowbank Thistle and St Bernard's. Hearts and Hibs, traditionally the strongest clubs in the area, contested most of the finals. Declining attendances meant that the competition was no longer contested after 1989–90 as an adult-level cup. It continued as a youth tournament and was revived in 2004 as an annual one-off match between Hearts and Hibs youth teams, acting as a fundraiser for the East of Scotland Football Association. (en)
  • L'East of Scotland Shield est une compétition de football écossaise organisée par l'East of Scotland Football Association. Créée en 1875, il s'agit de la 3e plus ancienne compétition de football encore existante (après la FA Cup et la Coupe d'Écosse). Dénommée d'abord Edinburgh F.A. Cup, elle a pris son nom actuel en 1881. La compétition se déroulait sous le format d'une coupe à élimination directe jusqu'à l'année 1990, à laquelle participaient les clubs basés à Édimbourg et dans ses environs, notamment : Alloa Athletic, Armadale, Bathgate, Berwick Rangers, Bo'ness, Bonnyrigg Rose, Cowdenbeath, Edinburgh University, Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian, Leith Athletic, Lochgelly United, Meadowbank Thistle et St Bernard's. Les deux clubs d'Heart of Midlothian et d'Hibernian ont monopolisé les places en finale et les succès dans cette compétition. Leurs succès dans les premières éditions ont permis à ces deux clubs de s'installer dans un rôle prédominant dans le football à Édimbourg et d'ainsi pouvoir accéder assez rapidement à la Scottish Football League. Le déclin du nombre de spectateurs a fait péricliter cette compétition, jusqu'à sa transformation en 1990 en compétition pour équipes de jeunes. Toutefois, à partir de 2004, le format a changé pour devenir un unique match entre les deux équipes d'Heart of Midlothian et d'Hibernian, très souvent entre les équipes réserves et dans le but de faire une collecte de fonds pour l'East of Scotland Football Association. Heart of Midlothian et Hibernian se sont rencontrés à plusieurs occasions lors de matches qui comptaient à la fois pour l'East of Scotland Shield et pour la Wilson Cup, comme en 1919, 1920 et 1921. * Portail du football * Portail de l’Écosse (fr)
