The number of entrants nearly doubled from the previous season with 49 teams included in the first round draw. The competition began on 2 October 1875 and concluded with the final replay on 18 March 1876. This was the first season that teams would change ends only at half time, the tradition of changing ends after a goal had been scored came to an end.Potter David David W.

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 +1875–76 Scottish Cup calendarRoundFirst match dateFixturesClubsOriginalByesReplaysFirst round2 October 1875241749 → 28Second round30 October 1875140228 → 14Third round27 November 187570014 → 7Quarter-finals18 December 18753107 → 4Semi-finals9 January 18762024 → 2Final11 March 18761012 → 1 Six teams qualified for the second round after drawing their first round replays Teams All 49 teams entered the competition in the first round. +Competing teams arranged by districtAyrshireDunbartonshireEdinburghGlasgow and SuburbsLanarkshireRenfrewshireArdrossan Ayr Eglinton Ayr Thistle Kilbirnie Kilmarnock MauchlineAlclutha Dumbarton Helensburgh Lennox Renton Star of Leven Vale of Leven Vale of Leven Rovers (Alexandria)Edinburgh Thistle Heart of Midlothian 3rd Edinburgh RVAlexandra Athletic Caledonian Clydesdale Dumbreck Eastern Havelock Lancelot NorthernOxford Partick Queen's Park Queen's Park Juniors Ramblers Renton Thistle RoversSt Andrew's Telegraphists Towerhill Vale of Leven Rovers (Glasgow) West End Western 3rd Lanark RVAirdrie Arthurlie Barrhead Drumpellier Hamilton Levern Rangers 1st Lanark RVSandyford 23rd Renfrew RV First round Edinburgh district Edinburgh Thistle received a bye to the second round. +Edinburgh district first round resultDateHome teamScoreAway teamVenue16 October 1875Heart of Midlothian0–03rd Edinburgh RVThe Meadows, Edinburgh +Edinburgh district first round replayDateHome teamScoreAway teamVenue23 October 18753rd Edinburgh RV0–0note draws The six clubs involved in drawn replays advanced to the second round.Heart of MidlothianThe Meadows, Edinburgh Dunbartonshire district +Dunbartonshire district first round resultsDateHome teamScoreAway teamVenue9 October 1875Lennox2–2DumbartonLevengrove Park, Dumbarton16 October 1875Alclutha0–1RentonBarloan Toll, Dumbarton16 October 1875Helensburgh1–0Star of LevenArdenconnel Park, HelensburghVale of Leven Rovers (Alexandria)w/onote Vale of Leven Rovers scratched and Vale of Leven advanced to the second round.Vale of Leven +Dunbartonshire district first round replayDateHome teamScoreAway teamVenue16 October 1875Dumbarton1–0LennoxLowmans Road, Dumbarton Glasgow and Suburbs +Glasgow and Suburbs first round resultsDateHome teamScoreAway teamVenue2 October 1875Partick1–1West EndInchview, Partick16 October 1875Clydesdale1–0EasternKinning Park, Kinning Park16 October 18753rd Lanark RV2–0HavelockCathkin Park, Crosshill16 October 1875Towerhill2–0LancelotMosefield Park, Glasgow16 October 1875Northern4–0RamblersHyde Park, Glasgow16 October 1875Queen's Park3–0Alexandra AthleticHampden Park, Crosshill16 October 1875St Andrew's3–0TelegraphistsGlasgow Green, Glasgow23 October 1875Caledonian0–0WesternBurnbank Park, GlasgowQueen's Park Juniorsw/onote Queen's Park Juniors scratched and Renton Thistle advanced to the second round.Renton ThistleDumbreckw/onote Vale of Leven Rovers scratched and Dumbreck advanced to the second round.Vale of Leven Rovers (Glasgow)Roversw/onote Oxford scratched and Rovers advanced to the second round.Oxford +Glasgow and Suburbs first round replaysDateHome teamScoreAway teamVenue16 October 1875West End1–1note drawsPartickBurnbank Park, Glasgow30 October 1875Western3–0CaledonianHolyrood Park, Glasgow Renfrewshire district +Renfrewshire district first round resultDateHome teamScoreAway teamVenue9 October 187523 Renfrew RV0–0SandyfordMuirend Park, Cathcart +Renfrewshire district first round replayDateHome teamScoreAway teamVenue16 October 1875Sandyford0–0note draws23 Renfrew RVKelvinbank Park, Govan Lanarkshire district +Lanarkshire district first round resultsDateHome teamScoreAway teamVenue9 October 1875Arthurlie0–0LevernArthurlie Cross, Barrhead16 October 1875Rangers7–01st Lanark RVBurnbank Park, Glasgow16 October 1875Hamilton0–0AirdrieSouth Avenue, Hamilton16 October 1875Drumpellier0–0BarrheadDrumpellier Cricket Ground, Coatbridge +Lanarkshire district first round replaysDateHome teamScoreAway teamVenue16 October 1875Levern4–0ArthurlieWellington Park, Hurlet23 October 1875Barrhead0–1DrumpellierBeacon's Field, Barrhead23 October 1875Airdrie0–1HamiltonAcademy Park, Airdrie Ayrshire district Kilmarnock's 8–0 win over Ayr Eglinton set a new record for both the highest-scoring game and the biggest win in the competition.http://www.fitbastats.com/kilmarnock/game.php?gameid=30930 Kilmarnock 8 -
