The 1892–93
Scottish Cup was the 20th season of Scotland's most prestigious
football knockout competition. The Cup was won by
Queen's Park when they beat
Celtic 2–1 in the final after a replay.
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.[7][8]
^The FitbaStats website states that
Michael Dunbar (brother of Tom) played in the first match, but other reports contradict this.[3]
Notes
^A protest by Cowlairs was upheld and a replay was ordered.
^Match abandoned after 65 minutes due to crowd trouble. The result was allowed to stand.
