1903–04 Scottish Cup

The 1903–04 Scottish Cup was the 31st season of Scotland's most prestigious football knockout competition. The Cup was won by Celtic when they beat Rangers 3–2 in the final.[1] The fixture may have been the point when the 'Old Firm' term began to be used in media to denote the relationship between the clubs, due to the increasing frequency of their meetings and the mutual commercial benefits of the growing rivalry.[2][3]
