History

[edit]

A one-off Masters Cup was held the previous year. The four-team tournament featured teams from Celtic, Rangers, and English Premier League clubs Liverpool and Manchester United at the Braehead Arena, Glasgow. Liverpool beat Manchester United 5–3 in the final. Luis García was the top scorer on the night.[1][2] The event was broadcast live on the subscription based online streaming service 360 Sports TV.[3][4]

Due to success of the event, it was announced the Scottish Masters Cup was being relaunched in 2023.[5][6] The first line up featured Celtic, Rangers, and Edinburgh derby rivals Hearts and Hibs.[7] Calling Time sponsored the event.[8] BBC Scotland showed live coverage of the competition.[9]
