Further additions from Malcolm for the 1890's South of Scotland League and Cup

Colin Arnot has noted that it was Vale of Leithen and not Hawick RA who were the beaten finalists in the 1982-83 Scottish Qualifying Cup... he remembers playing in the semi-final for Vale as it was the only time he was ever booked!

29 December Andy McGregor has supplied a missing result in the 1976-77 East of Scotland League. On 30 May 1977, Edinburgh University beat Postal United 4-1. The students therefore leapfrogged Vale of Leithen and finished runners-up to Selkirk. Andy was at the match and was one of the three spectators who turned up!

Malcolm has filled in most of the gaps in the 1892-93 South of Scotland League and Cup page.

16 December I'm delighted to say that the final two missing results for the SCOTTISH HIGHLAND LEAGUE have been uncovered.

1914-15
17 Oct Thistle v Clach 1-4
21 Nov Caley v Thistle 0-0

The Thistle v Clach match was originally recorded as 1-3, this was based on the published league table, but the match report in the Football Times confirms the result as 1-4, the league table has been amended.

The finding of these two results means every match in the league is now on the site.

Malcolm Pagan, who wrote the history of the book, Senior Non-League Football in South-West Scotland in 1995, has been helping out with the South of Scotland League and Cup results and has been able to complete many of the cup records in the 1880s and 90s. Malcolm will also be reviewing the other seasons over coming months.
