 * In the lead you have some sentences/paragraphs referenced, some others not. Why?  Ordinarily a lead shouldn't contain information that isn't expanded on in the main article (so in general a lead needs no refs at all).
 * I have removed two references from the lead and left one which refers to the sponsorship name.  Cal   Umbra  
 * "second appearance in the final of the tournament since losing" do you mean second appearance or first appearance since losing? Or perhaps "second appearance ... having lost..."?
 * I reworded to "having lost" as it is the club's second appearance in a cup final ever.  Cal   Umbra  
 * " game and scored the first goal in the 33rd minute from John O'Neill" -> "game with John O'Neill scoring the first goal in the 33rd minute".
 * Reworded as stated above.  Cal   Umbra  
 * Be aware of football jargon like "header"... we have a glossary of terms you could hashlink to specific sections as required.
 * I have linked "header", "substitution" and "corner kick" to relevant articles.  Cal   Umbra  
 * The lead you refer to it as using "elimination rounds" but the main article states (and links) it to be a "knock-out" tournament. Would try to be consistent here.
 * Changed to "knock-out" for consistency.  Cal   Umbra  
 * "28 of the teams " avoid starting sentences with a number.
 * Reworded the sentence.  Cal   Umbra  
 * "two received random byes into the second round" is this referenced anywhere?
 * Provided a reference which mentions this.  Cal   Umbra  
 * "produce a shock" is that a quote? To stay neutral I'd ask for a reference or attributable quotation here.
 * Quoted "shock" and referenced to where it is mentioned.  Cal   Umbra  
 * "The stadium had played host to" -> "The stadium hosted..."
 * Reworded as stated above.  Cal   Umbra  
 * "Dumfries based" needs a hyphen.
 * Done, as requested.  Cal   Umbra  
 * References should use WP:DASH where appropriate and should avoid SHOUTING too.
 * All references now contain "En dash" where appropriate and case has been lowered to sentence case where applicable.  Cal   Umbra   10:03, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
