Cove Rangers Football Club are a senior Scottish football club currently playing in the Highland Football League. They are based in Cove Bay, a suburb of Aberdeen and are set to play their football at Calder Park, having left their former home at Allan Park in April 2015.
Cove were formed in 1922 and played in the local amateur leagues until 1985, when they became a junior team. However, the club applied and were accepted to the senior Highland Football League in 1986, where they have played ever since. They have also racked up a formidable reputation in the lower rounds of the Scottish Cup, reaching the 3rd round three times. In 2001 they won their first Highland League championship – but even more impressively won the 'quadruple' of Highland League, Aberdeenshire Shield, Scottish Qualifying Cup, and Highland League Cup.
In the 2007–08 season, Cove reached round four of the Scottish Cup for the first and only time, beating Brora Rangers away 7–0, Keith 3–0 and Edinburgh University 1–0 on the way, before losing 4–2 to Ross County.
However, that did not deter the south Aberdeen side from claiming their second ever Highland League Championship with a 3–0 home win against Lossiemouth on 3 May 2008.
