Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox football match The 1993 Scottish Challenge Cup final, also known as the B&Q Cup final for sponsorship reasons, was an association football match between Falkirk and St Mirren on 12 December 1993 at Fir Park in Motherwell.[1] It was the fourth final of the Scottish Challenge Cup since it was first organised in 1990 to celebrate the centenary of the Scottish Football League.
The match was Falkirk's first national cup final in 36 years since winning the Scottish Cup in 1957; whilst it was St Mirren's first in only six years since lifting the Scottish Cup in 1987. The tournament was contested by clubs below the Scottish Premier Division, with both finalists from the First Division.
The match was goalless after 45 minutes, but Falkirk took the lead two minutes into the second half with a goal from Neil Duffy and only one minute later were 2–0 up with a goal from Richard Cadette. The final goal of the game came from John Hughes, which was enough for Falkirk to win the match 3–0 and the tournament for the first time.[2]
