Lustenau vs Kitzbühel - Cup

Few would have predicted the narrative arc that brings Lustenau and Kitzbühel together at the home ground on July 25, 2026, and the underdog storyline only adds to the Cup occasion. The 74-year-old Hoops boss admitted that "it'll be a bit strange not having the (Celtic) fans in but I'm nervously and excitedly looking forward to it; it's a great fixture" and also spoke about the police visit.

The tactical subplot is compelling: Lustenau favour a possession-based game built on patience and control, while Kitzbühel are happiest sitting deep and exploding forward on the counter — a classic contrast of philosophies. Everton are aware of interest from Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, but there has been no formal approach or contact with them, and they have no appetite to sell the 26-year-old, who has three years on his deal.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day.

Midfielder David Ozoh's shot from outside the penalty area was deflected wide, and from the resulting corner delivered by Joe Ward, defender Dion Sanderson met the ball at the far post but could only head the ball back across goal.
