Seven clubs attended the meeting; Clydesdale, Dumbreck, Eastern, Granville, Queen's Park, Vale of Leven and 3rd Lanark RV while the eighth founding member – Kilmarnock – intimated by letter their support. The founding members decided to establish their own annual competition and thus the Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup was born. Subscription fees from these eight clubs plus seven of the other eight to enter the inaugural competition were used to pay for the Scottish Cup trophy which the teams would compete for. Unlike the FA Cup, the original trophy is still awarded to the winners of the competition.https://kilmarnockfc.co.uk/news/kilmarnock-in-history-the-very-first-steps/ Kilmarnock in History: The very first steps Kilmarnock Football Club John Livingston 19 March 2020 16 May 2020 Route to the final 1873–74 Scottish Cup Both clubs entered the competition in the first round.

The match kicked-off at quarter to four, Clydesdale with the disadvantage of having the wind in their faces.http://www.londonhearts.com/scores/images/1874/1874032101.htm Queen's Park v. Clydesdale The Scotsman London Hearts Supporters Club 16 May 2020 In the first half Clydesdale controversially had a goal ruled out. Queen's Park protested when referee James McIntyre initially appeared to award a goal after Fred Anderson kicked the ball past Queen's goalkeeper John Dickson. There were no goal nets to catch the ball if it had been placed between the posts and it was claimed that Anderson's shot had rebounded off a spectator's knee. Had the goal been allowed to stand, the teams would have changed ends according to the rules at the time and Clydesdale would gain the advantage of having the wind behind them. Instead, Queen's Park retained that advantage and, early in the second half, Billy MacKinnon gave them the lead with "a powerful shot after a superb individual run". Robert Leckie scored Queen's Park's second goal with a shot not long before time was called.http://www.londonhearts.com/scores/images/1874/1874032102.htm Queen's Park v.
