The following week Lang played for the 'Improbables' XI to finally decide on the eleven to play against England - but was unsuccessful. A further trial was held on 20 March to decide on the team to play Wales and as a result, Dumbarton's first international caps were awarded when Archie Langhttp://www.scottishfa.co.uk/players/?pid=113487 Archibald Lang Scottishfa.co.uk 9 June 2019 and Joe Lindsayhttp://www.scottishfa.co.uk/players/?pid=113284 Joseph Lindsay Scottishfa.co.uk 9 June 2019 were selected to play for Scotland on 27 March 1880, the match resulting in a 5–1 win for Scotland with Lindsay scoring one of the goals. Representative Matches A series of trial matches were played at Cathkin Park on 10 January 1880 to decide on a United Counties team to play Birmingham & District. John Kennedy, Jock Hutcheson, Archie Lang and Alex Lawrence all played with Lang being selected for the final XI. However, as the game fell on the same day as the Scottish Cup semi final, he decided to play for the club. Five weeks later, on 14 February, Lang was selected to play for Scotch Counties against a Scottish Canadian XI at Kinning Park - the game ending in a 2–2 draw.
