The 2020 Scottish Challenge Cup final, also known as the Tunnocks Caramel Wafer Challenge Cup final for sponsorship reasons, was a football match that was scheduled to take place between Raith Rovers and Inverness Caledonian Thistle,[1][2] but was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
[3] The competition was originally only contested by clubs in the Scottish football league system, but teams from Wales and Northern Ireland were added from 2016–17,[4] the Republic of Ireland in 2017–18, and two teams from the English National League (fifth tier) were added from 2018–19.
[5][6] Inverness player James Keatings was initially suspended for the final, having been sent off for being shown two yellow cards during the semi-final.
[14] An appeal against one of those cards, and the resulting suspension, was rejected by a Scottish Football Association panel.
[18][19] When the SPFL announced in October 2020 that the 2020–21 edition of the competition had been cancelled, it also said that the 2019–20 final would "be scheduled for a date later this season", i.e. during 2020–21.
