Notes

^a Referee William Dick was the Secretary of the Scottish Football Association. The second Scottish goal is credited to Powell (own goal) in some sources, but there was no Powell in the Welsh team.^[1]
^b This match was played in atrocious weather conditions with the team captains agreeing to play only 30 minutes in each half.^[2]
