Pollok and Irvine Vics thrown out Scottish Junior Cup after shame game

Irvine Vics and Pollok have been thrown out of the Scottish Junior Cup after a brawl led to their second round clash being abandoned, Ayrshire Live understands.

Football chiefs launched an investigation after violent scenes broke out in stoppage time during the September 25 encounter at Victoria Park in Irvine.

Footage emerged of a melee involving numerous players and coaching staff which led to the referee abandoning the game with Pollok winning 2-1.

Both clubs were hauled in front of the SJFA's disciplinary committee last night to explain their role in the on-field fiasco.

And this afternoon, SJFA chiefs delivered the devastating ruling that neither team will play any further part in the competition.

Ayrshire Football News also understands that Irvine Vics have been fined £500.
