Potter Jones Phil H. 2016 The History of the Scottish Cup: The Story of Every Season 1873–2016 Worthing Pitch Publishing 25–26 978-1-78531-214-4 For the earlier rounds, the names of competing teams were placed into lots according to their districts and drawn into pairs. The home team for each tie was determined by the toss of a coin unless it was mutually agreed or only one of the two clubs drawn against one another had a private ground. In the event of a draw, the team who lost the toss would have the choice of ground for the replay. A similar procedure was used for subsequent rounds however, any club which had received a bye in the previous round would first be drawn against one of the winners of the previous round. The names of winning teams were placed into one lot for later rounds. The choice of venue for the final matches was reserved to the Scottish Football Association.http://www.scottishsporthistory.com/uploads/3/3/6/0/3360867/scottish_football_annual_1875.pdf Rules of the Scottish Football Association Scottish Football Association 14 October 1875 9 October 2019 Calendar RoundFirst match dateFixturesClubsOriginalByesReplaysFirst Round6 September 187965137142 → 81Second Round4 October 1879385581 → 44Third Round1 November 1879221244 → 22Fourth Round22 November 1879110222 → 13Fifth Round20 December 187961113 → 7Quarter-finals3 January 18803117 → 4Semi-finals17 January 18802004 → 2Final21 February 18801002 → 1 Both Glasgow and Edinburgh University were given byes to the third round.
