Brechin City relegated after becoming first Scottish senior side in 126 years to go winless all season

BRECHIN CITY have become the first senior Scottish side to fail to pick up a victory in a season 126 years.

Their 5-1 home defeat to Queen of the South means ‘The City’ have suffered the same feat Vale of Leven, who did so in 1891/92.

Part-timers Brechin, promoted last season, collected just four points from 36 matches in the Scottish Championship.

But chairman Ken Ferguson told the BBC there is no “doom and gloom” surrounding the club.

He said: “We went into it fully aware of how difficult a task it was going to be.

“We obviously did expect to win some games along the way.
