Missed out two other possible fixtures predating the Rangers vs. Dumbarton game; Queen`s Park scratched to Oxford University in the semi finals of the FA Cup in the Spring of 1873 and, as there is still a University Football Club, that`s still on the cards and on 21st March 1874 Queen`s beat Clydesd...
