The1884 Scottish Cup Final was scheduled to be the 11th final of theScottish Cup and the final of the1883–84 Scottish Cup, the most prestigious knockoutfootball competition in Scotland. Six-time winnersQueen's Park were due to face three-time winnersVale of Leven atCathkin Park inCrosshill (today part ofGlasgow) on 23 February 1884.[1][2][3]

Following a bereavement, illness and injury, Vale of Leven requested that the match be postponed but this was refused by theSFA. In protest, Vale of Leven did not appear for the final. A subsequent meeting of an SFA committee narrowly decided to award the cup to Queen's Park rather than reorganising the final.[1][2]

Background

[edit]

Queen's Park had reached the final on six previous occasions and had gone on to lift the trophy each time, most recently in1882.

Runners-up in1883, Vale of Leven reached the final for the second season in succession. This was their fifth appearance in the final and they had previously won the competition three times consecutively between 1877 and 1879.

Prior to the final, Queen's Park and Vale of Leven were the most successful teams in the competition having lifted the trophy in nine of the previous 10 seasons between them. However, they had only met twice previously in the competition. Queen's Park won 2–1[4] on their way to winning the trophy in1875–76 before Vale of Leven recorded a 2–1[5] on their way to winning the cup thefollowing season.

Match details

[edit]

As a result of a bereavement, illness and injury, three of Vale of Leven's players were set to miss the final. As "to play without these members of the team would mean certain defeat",[6] Vale appealed to the SFA on the Wednesday before the final to have the match postponed but this was refused. The club then asked opponents Queen's Park to agree to a postponement but failed to notify them of their situation. With no reason to postpone the game and an upcomingFA Cup final, Queen's Park refused and the game was expected to go ahead as planned.[1][2]

After Vale failed to appear for the final, an SFA committee was tasked with deciding what should happen next. Chaired by the president of the SFA - a Queen's Park man[2] - the committee decided by seven votes to six to award the cup to Queen's Park rather than reorganising the match.[1][2] Following the decision, there were reports in the press that the SFA should be renamed the "Queen’s Park and Rangers Association" because of a perceived Glasgow bias.[2]
