Team selection

edit

Hibernian were without Tommy Younger, Jock Paterson, Lawrie Reilly, and Willie Ormond.[8]

Paterson, Reilly, and Ormond were selected for the Scottish League XI to play the Welsh League XI in Cardiff on 24 September,[9] while Wilson Humphries of Motherwell (a late replacement for Derek Grierson of Rangers) was also called up,[10][11] but all of them were denied permission by the Scottish Football League to be released for the game.[12]

Afterwards

edit

The trophy and mementoes for the players were presented by Mr T.A. Kerr, the Lord Provost of Glasgow, at the end of the match.[1]

Hibernian faced Motherwell again five days later on 27 September in the Scottish Football League and gained a measure of revenge with a 7–3 victory at Fir Park. Lawrie Reilly and Jock Paterson were restored to the Hibs line up. Reilly netted four times for the Hibees.[18][19]
