The Challenge Cup has a new sponsor for the upcoming season.
Petrofac Training Services have reached an agreement with the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) to become the new title sponsor.
The Petrofac Training Cup, as it is to be known, will replace The Ramsden Cup.
Clubs in the Scottish Championship, Scottish League 1 and 2, as well as Brora Rangers from the Highland League and the Spartans from the Lowlands League who won their divisions, will compete for the trophy.
Neil Doncaster, SPFL chief executive welcomed Petrofac Training Services as the governing body's first 'new' sponsor since the league's creation last year.
He said: "We are delighted to announce Petrofac Training Services as the title sponsor of the challenge cup competition."
"They are a new investor in the sport and come to Scottish football at an exciting time," he added.
Laurence Milne, Head of Business Development at Petrofac Training Services, highlighted the company's vision for the cup.
He said: "We're looking forward to working with clubs, supporters, the media and wider stakeholders to promote the Cup.
"We'll be playing our part to make this a season to remember"
Petrofac Training Services provides safety, survival and emergency response courses for those wanting to join the off-shore oil and gas industry.
The draw for the Petrofac Training Cup first round takes place on Wednesday with matches due to take place from July 26 and 27.
