Jimmy Gilmour, Queen`s Park`s winger, made a substitute appearance for Scotland`s semi professional side vs. England on 4th June 1983; an amateur of course.

Slightly off piste, this thread reminded me of Shoto Arveladze who collected cup winners medals in 4 countries - he was in Dynamo Tblisi`s Georgian Cup winning sides of 1992 and 1993, Trabzonspor`s Turkish winning side of 1995, Ajax Amsterdam`s in 1999 and in Rangers` 2002 & 2003 winning sides.

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...

In November 1871, Queen`s Park were due to play Donington School in the 1st Round of the new Football Association Challenge Cup in Glasgow but the pair couldn`t agree a date so both, as per the rules at the time, progressed into the 2nd Round when, again no convenient date could be found due to it b...

Queen`s Park beat Rangers 4-0 in the first Merchants Charity Cup Final @ 1st Hampden Park on 28th April 1877.

I`m seriously considering withdrawing from this website; this thread is making me feel ancient. Players who I watched when they were quite young are now shuffling off this mortal coil with disturbing rapidity.

Thank you Andy, you`ve rescued a valuable source and a scene of sense in a morass of crass nonsense.

I came across the 1st Round draw for this competition of 1st September 1931. Was this a one-off competition or was it regular?

I never thought of wikipedia! Thank you for that.
