| – GT 26/11/1894. McDONALD, HERBERTSON (2). Line-up as yet unsourced. |

| – SR 10/12/1894. PROUDFOOT, SHAW (2). Line-up as yet unsourced. |
| – As the score suggests, a tight game. Cambuslang took the lead but Proudfoot soon equalised. Thistle fell behind but Shaw levelled things by half-time. He scored the winner (65) and Thistle's strong defence protected the lead until the end. |
| 9. Sat-30-Mar-1895 [a] D1-1 Rangers (Glasgow 2nd XI Cup Semi Final) |
| – SR 1/4/1885. SHAW. Line-up as yet unsourced. |
