At Niddrie, in presence of a large crowd of spectators, and in ideal football weather. Winning the toss the Windsor forced the Rangers to kick off with a strong sun in their eyes. At once the game became interesting, both sides striving their hardest. The Rangers had the first look in, but long driving by the Windsor backs and some nice judging by the halves let their forwards down on Ferrier, when some exciting play was witnessed. Clever football by Thompson was deservedly cheered by the crowd, his placing to his forwards and shooting for goal being really skilful. So far the game had been very evenly contested. Drummond got his leg twisted, and seemed to be in great agony, and although he remained on the field, he was of little or no use to his side. After about sixteen minutes of beautiful play the Windsor scored. The greatest excitement now prevailed, and long and loud was the cheer that greeted the "maroons" first goal a few minutes afterwards, Nicol, heading through a pass off Armstrong. Shoulder to shoulder the Rangers left wing pair dribbled up the field, and the Windsor defence had to play all they knew to hold them in check. In great style, the Musselburgh lads attacked, a long shot, from the right going through, Ferrier having been beaten by the manner in which the ball hung in the air. Even play followed for a while, and three minutes from half-time the Windsor scored again, and at half-time led by three goals to one. The opening stages of the second half saw the Rangers in grand form. Their forwards early getting on the ball dashed towards Stewart, Nicol showing the way. In something like his old style, he centred the ball at the right moment, and either Hogg or Armstrong rushed it through. Again and again the maroons returned to the attack, a couple of shots from Hughes just missing the post by inches. Thanks to the strong back play of the Windsor, the Rangers were kept at bay. Blake, who had been in his best form in this half, led away his forwards in a style which brought rounds of cheers from all parts of the field. Nicol was entrusted with the final shot, and with a lovely ball the left winger put his team on level terms. Shortly afterwards the Rangers scored the leading point from a scrimmage. The Windsor now fell away completely, and although no more scoring took place, the Rangers had the pull till the close, and the sound of the whistle saw them the winners of a memorable game.

Result: - Rangers 4 goals, Windsor, 3 goals.

For the second Saturday in succession, the Rangers journeyed to Musselburgh, this time to meet the West Calder Wanderers in the final of the Midlothian Cup. Never in the history of the trophy has the final stage created so much interest, and at 4 o'clock, the time of start, Newfield Park was in possession of a large crowd, a good proportion of which had come from Gorebridge. Both teams were well received on entering the ground. The weather was all that could be desired, there being scarcely a breath of wind to interfere with the play. Everything pointed to a rare struggle. W.G. McQueen refereed. The Rangers won the toss and almost exactly at the advertised hour, Miller started. Very soon the game became fast and exciting, but neither team showed good football. The Wanderers were the first to become dangerous, but were met by a clever defence. A foul against Vance for tripping let the Rangers down, but still no material advantage was gained. Rough play seemed to be gaining ground, fouls being numerous. In dashing style the Wanderers attacked, only to be brought to book by grand goalkeeping on the part of Ferrier. After fifteen minutes play, Chapple, to the apparent disgust of the Rangers sent the ball flying through his own goal. This reverse seemed to waken up the Rangers a bit, and, led by Blake, they made their first determined attack on the Wanderers citadel and from a foul close in, Armstrong headed through amid deafening cheers. Again they returned, and a magnificent piece of work by Nicol was warmly cheered. A hand foul against the Wanderers got the Rangers nearer home; Hughes placed the ball well, and in a twinkling Armstrong succeeded in securing a second point. The Wanderers strove hard to improve their position, but McFadyen and Drummond were playing with judgment, and the Wanderers were kept at bay. Conley, the Wanderers left, got in with a nice shot, but Ferrier caught the ball and cleared easily. Vance, inside right of the Wanderers, while making for the Rangers goalkeeper collided with one of his own side and had to be carried off the field. The Rangers were having now much the best of the game, but no further scoring, however, took place in this half, and the interval found the Rangers leading by two goals to one. Play resumed with the Rangers pressing their opponents severely, but Armstrong spoiled the chance by kicking too far in front. Aided by good half-back play the Wanderers worked their way down, but just as they were assuming a dangerous attitude McFadyen cleared in the finest style possible. Twenty minutes play saw the teams on equal terms. The hardness of the game seemed to be telling on the Rangers, and the majority of them began to show signs of being played out. All round the Wanderers were giving a grand display, their passing being free and well-timed but their shooting was wide. Two fouls in quick succession gave the Rangers some relief. For a few minutes play raged near the Western goal, and some really magnificent kicking by Drummond caused great enthusiasm. The Wanderers forwards pressed severely, and from one of these attacks the centre half gave his team the lead with a low swift shot. The western lads were working in earnest, and ten minutes from time they put the issue beyond doubt. The closing moments of the game were most exciting.

Result - Wanderers 4; Rangers 2.
