📰 All you need to know about the new-look @OfficialSLFL ahead of the new season!

Lowland League Board representation

The Lowland League AGM took place last Monday, and club director Ben Kearney was elected to the Lowland League's expanded Board.

Albion Rovers' league opponents

The Lowland League's membership has doubled from 16 to 32 clubs, who will play across two divisions, the West and East.

#ARFC will play in the West alongside four of last season's LL west-based clubs: @ClydebankFC, @TheBravesFC, @OfficialCColts and @GretnaFC2008.

Joining us are 11 new members from the @OfficialWoSFL Premier Division: @ATFC1909, @CumnockJnrsFC, @TroonFCOfficial, @PollokFC, @LargsThistleFC, @Johnstone_Burgh, @SteadyTheBuffs, @RenfrewFC and @BeithJuniorsFC and two new members from the @SOSFLeague in @DalbeattieStar and @The_Creesiders.

Our division has a guest club, @CelticFCB, meaning our league will run with 17 teams next term.

The East division will run with 16 clubs, taking in five new members from its feeder leagues.

Promotion & relegation

*all of this is licensing dependent...

Promotion-wise, the champions of both divisions can compete in a round-robin contest along with the @ScottishHFL winners for the right to take on the @SPFL's Club 42. The pyramid play-off is still the same, a two-tie affair with the SPFL side at home for the second leg.

Relegation-wise, two clubs can be relegated from each division. Again, there is a licensing disclaimer here. But in theory, two from the West and two from the East could go down with the champion from each feeder league winning promotion.

Cups

No changes for next season. The @SouthChallenge Cup will still take place, as will the @OfficialSLFL Lowland League Cup. The format for the latter is TBC.

We will, of course, still be involved in the @ScottishCup too. The club also applied for a wild card entry to the SPFL's cup competitions. Those who applied across the fifth tier will be eagerly awaiting detials and any successful applications regarding the 2026/27 KDM Evolution Trophy (Scottish Challenge Cup).

Other clubs in the West are likely to take part in other cup competitions such as the @ScottishJuniors (Communities) Cup.

📰 Club update: 29/05/26.

Many applications have been received for the manager position. Thanks to all those who have expressed an interest.

We are looking to draw up a shortlist of candidates over the weekend. We will then contact those selected to arrange an interview.

Applications should include your football-related CV and details of coaching qualifications held.

They should be submitted by email to: [email protected] before 4pm on Monday.

@Newsystem10 A shock they have left, they’ve been planning for next season already and now we have to reset completely because they have left

[WeAreRovers @ARFCOKAY]

Sandy and George leaving us right before pre season beginning is a kick in the teeth, I get this is a big job for them but this leaves us right in the shit, should’ve gone long before this
