Overview

As one of the eight founder members of the Scottish FA, 3rd Lanark RV took part in the inaugural Scottish Cup.[1] Subscription fees from 15 of the 16 clubs that entered the competition were used to pay for the trophy for which they compete.[2]

The team reached the quarter-finals without playing a match after first round opponents Southern withdrew. However, 3rd Lanark RV were defeated by eventual finalists Clydesdale after a second replay.[2]

During the club's early years, the team would play in red shirts and blue shorts. Their traditional white shorts weren't introduced until 1876.[3]
