Notes
The Scotland team was selected by Robert W. Gardner, a
founding member and captain of Queen's Park. Originally a forward, he only took up
goalkeeping the year of this first international. He became a committee
member in the Scottish Football Association when it was founded the next year and served as its president in 1877-78.
The Scots were unable to obtain the services of two leading
players based in England, Arthur Fitzgerald
Kinnaird,
a versatile player for Wanderers who usually performed at halfback, and Lt.
Henry Waugh Renny-Tailyour, centre-forward with the Royal Engineers.
Both earned their only Scotland caps the next year. Kinnaird already was
a leading football administrator in England. A Football Association
Committee member since 1868, he went on to become its President from 1890
until his death in 1923.
James and Robert Smith brothers, played for South Norwood FC in London as
well as Queen's Park. Robert W. Gardner, William Ker and Joseph Taylor
played for Granville FC in Scotland as well as Queen's Park.
