Notes
Three Disallowed GoalsIn the first half: "A claim of hands gave Scotland a free kick, and another goal was got, though the umpires disallowed this in consequence of off side." And in the second: "...play had hardly resumed before Ker passing to Smith the latter claimed a goal, which was not allowed, owing to off-side." And then just before time: "...but the Scotchmen again forced their way past the opposite backs, though the goal they got was disallowed for off-side."
