Ambitious English side Doncaster City have used an ancient claim over their national status to apply for a place in next season’s Scottish Cup.

The bizarre bid by the Yorkshire club to gain entry into the competition is based on a 12th century treaty which states the town is legally part of Scotland.

City have already made an application to the SFA to be considered for the 2022-23 season and the newly-formed team aim to use Berwick Rangers and East of Scotland side Tweedmouth Rangers as examples of geographically based clubs south of the border being eligible for our national competition.

The Sports Direct bankrolled outfit have started life in the 13th tier of the FA pyramid and currently sit top of Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior Football League Division Two but have targeted a rapid climb through the leagues.
