One match now separates Brora Rangers from Scotland's professional leagues after the Highland League champions drew 1-1 with Edinburgh City in the first leg and head to Edinburgh for Saturday's decider.
A win would make Brora — a part-time club from a village of about 1,200 people, 50 miles north of Inverness — the most northerly team in UK professional football.
The promotion push has stirred village-wide excitement, with supporters expecting a large away following and locals saying the result could bring new income and wider attention to Brora.
Brora have flirted with history before, losing a League Two promotion bid in 2015 and beating Hearts 2-1 in the 2021 Scottish Cup, adding to belief that this squad can finally go up.
If Brora wins promotion, can this village club survive the financial leap to the professional leagues?
Beyond the pitch, what does historic promotion truly mean for the future of a small village like Brora?
