Notes
- Player InjurySometime after the score reached 6-1 Vallance was injured "having received a smack in the eye" and had the retire from the game. Scotland played on with 10 men.
- Source conflictMost sources suggest the above goal scorers, however the only dissenting voice is the Sheffield and Rotherham Independent which has McDougall scoring Scotland's first two and fourth, and Wylie scoring for England instead of Wace.
