Fourth round

On the motion of Mr McCulloch of Dundee Harp, the Scottish FA decided to ensure that the fourth round would be the last round requiring byes and that there would be only five ties, all involving one of the five clubs that had received byes thus far.[16][17] Consequently, Clyde, Dumbarton, Dunblane, Dundee Harp, Hibernian, Hurlford, Kilmarnock, Port Glasgow Athletic, Queen's Park, Vale of Leven and 3rd Lanark RV all received a bye to the fifth round.

    J-As Dundee Harp could not afford to make the trip to Dumbarton, the club scratched from the competition, and invited Dumbarton to East End Park to play a friendly instead, which ended 2–2. However, Harp advertised the match as a Cup tie and many media outlets reported it as such.[21]
