Teams


Celtic:
GK		Joseph Cullen
RB		Jerry Reynolds
LB		Dan Doyle
RH		Willie Maley
CH		James Kelly
LH		Peter Dowds
OR		Neil McCallum
IR		Alex Brady
CF		Jake Madden
IL		Sandy McMahon
OL		John Campbell
Replay:		Paddy Gallacher replaced Madden and moved to midfield, with Dowds moving up front.


Queen's Park:
GK		Andrew Baird
RB		Donald Sillars
LB		Bob Smellie
RH		John Gillespie
CH		Tom Robertson
LH		David Stewart
OR		William Gulliland
IR		Tom Waddell
CF		James Hamilton
IL		William Lambie
OL		William Sellar
Replay:		John Lambie replaced Smellie and moved to the attack, with Sellar moving to the defence.

The FitbaStats website states that Madden played in the second match and Matthew Flannagan played instead of Dowds, but other reports contradict this (and Flannagan did not join the club until the following month).
There is uncertainty over the identity of the 11th player for Queen's Park. The Scotsman asserts it was Scottish international John Lambie who came into the team, although he was living in England and not registered with the club at the time. The Glasgow Herald report states that 'Gillespie' came into the side, but John Gillespie was already in the line-up in place of the injured Walter Arnott. The Queen's Park archive website has a second 'J Gillespie' in the match report, but has a "Scott, H." in its players list making his only appearance for the club. The Herald report also mentions "Scott" in quote marks, indicating the likelihood of the name being a pseudonym, and the Scottish Referee confirms this was "an old and favourite player" without naming him.

Notes

Dundee Our Boys were voted to receive an exemption but requested to take part in the preliminary rounds. The request was granted and they were eliminated in the first preliminary round.
The Heart of Midlothian vs. Clyde match was abandoned after 85 minutes due to darkness and was subsequently replayed.
^ Match played at a neutral venue.
