Something weird...
...the North British Daily Mail of 30 September, covering the first round games, gives the result of one match as being Arthurlie (Barrhead) v Busby (4-1, plus 2 disputed goals). Secondary sources have Busby playing Morton, and Barrhead beating Wellington Park the week before. Did a reporter go to Busby and get the opponents AND the goals wrong? Confused by a change kit perhaps? In Vitrio (talk) 18:30, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
- My only suggestion is that could it be a second XI match? I've just checked the most reliable source I have for this (which I didn't have when I was collating the results together), The Beautiful Dribbling Game by Stewart Mathers and it has Barrhead 2-0 Wellington Park match (I will update after I've posted this) on 21 September as well as Busby 3-1 Morton and Cartvale 1-4 Arthurlie on 28 September so I'm not sure what has happened there.
