(picture from 1892-93 Cup winning team)
Scotland team pic (but not official full side) from 1891
I came across this photo of a Scotland team group from 1891 in an old scrapbook – except that it isn’t really a Scotland team. This was the side that defeated Canada 5-1 on 3 October 1891 at Ibrox, part of a lengthy tour undertaken by the visitors in which they faced club sides and local selects from the end of August to early January, as well as national sides from all four home nations. These games are not considered official internationals.
The people in this photo are (back, from left): JK McDowall, JM Marshall, M McQueen (Leith Athletic), A McCredie (Rangers), W Maley (Celtic), H Smith (Third Lanark), G Sneddon (SFA President), J Reid (Irish FA, referee); centre: J Hector (Battlefield), W Berry (Queen’s Park), W Arnott (Queen’s Park), A McMahon (Celtic), J Bell (Dumbarton); front: J McLaren (Dumbarton), J Hamilton (Queen’s Park).
