AN ENGLISH football club is using a 900-year-old claim over their national status to apply for a place in next season's Scottish Cup.
The bizarre bid by Doncaster City to join the competition is based on a 12th-century treaty which states Doncaster is legally part of Scotland.
The newly-formed team, which has submitted an application to the SFA, aims to use Berwick Rangers and East of Scotland side Tweedmouth Rangers as examples of clubs based south of the Border being eligible.
The SFA told the Record last night they are aware of the bid by the South Yorkshire club and will review the application in due course.
