^Everton originally drew
Rangers F.C. in 1886 but only played it as a friendly as they had ineligible players. Although they beat Bolton in a replay, they didn't go through as they fielded 7 ineligible players. The game itself was a replay as the first game was declared void after Bolton had fielded an ineligible player.
