The Tommy McGrane Memorial Cup is an annual pre-season invitational Scottish football tournament hosted by SJFA, West Region junior football club East Kilbride Thistle.

Tournament

The trophy was named in honour of Tommy McGrane, who was one of the founders of East Kilbride Thistle.[1] The tournament has always been staged at the Show Park, in the Village, East Kilbride, since it began in 2005. The tournament is played in a straight knockout format of two semi-finals and a final. The semi-final losers play in a third-fourth play-off match. The tournament has regularly attracted participation by Scottish Football League (SFL) clubs in the past, with teams such as Clyde, Hamilton Academical and, in particular, Stirling Albion taking part in previous years.

Thistle only won their own tournament for the first time in 2009, at the fifth attempt of trying.[2] The Tommy McGrane Cup trophy suffered severe damage in May 2012, after the club's trophy cabinet was smashed up, with various other items suffering damage, during a fire that broke out at Thistle's Social Club, which resides next to the Show Park.[3] A new trophy has since been made and presented to the winners of the tournament.

Clyde lift the Tommy McGrane Cup in 2006, with a 4–0 win against hosts East Kilbride Thistle in the final.
