Johnstone Burgh took on Tranent FC in the cup final, winning the match 4-2 on penalties. It is the first time the club have won the title since 1968.
Provost Cameron said:
I was absolutely delighted to be at the Scottish Junior Cup Final to witness Johnstone Burgh's tremendous victory — a moment of sheer determination, skill, and team spirit - although I have to say that it's wasn't the easiest of games to watch, the anxiety was intense, especially when it ended in a penalty shoot-out!
The players have done themselves and our town proud, bringing the trophy home in spectacular fashion. This win has ignited a real sense of civic pride throughout Johnstone, and on behalf of the entire community, I offer my warmest congratulations to the team, coaching staff, and supporters who stood behind them every step of the way.
I also had the privilege of meeting George Caughey, the man who captained the Burgh to glory in 1968. It was a deeply emotional moment for him — to see this generation follow in the footsteps of his own historic team was truly special. His pride in the club, past and present, was a powerful reminder of what this victory means to our community.
I am sure there will be many celebrations in the coming days by club members and supporters, and I hope they enjoy every moment of their well earned success.
