Final

25 February 1893

Celtic	1 – 0	Queen's Park
Towie

Ibrox Park, GovanAttendance: 30,000Referee: R. F. Harrison

Match declared void due to frozen pitch (decided pre-match after inspection, but not announced to spectators until the second half).

Final replay

11 March 1893

Queen's Park	2 – 1	Celtic
Sellar		Blessington

Ibrox Park, GovanAttendance: 15,000Referee: R. F. Harrison

The winning goal was believed by some observers not to have fully entered the goal before being cleared, and Celtic protested but the score stood. Although their use would not have resolved that particular incident, this controversy and debate led to goal nets being introduced in the latter stages of the Scottish Cup from then on.
