Overview
Kilmarnock were founder members of the Scottish Football Alliance and finished second in its inaugural season. They reached the second round of the Scottish Cup after a 6â1 win away to East Stirlingshire but were eliminated after a second replay by Scottish Football League side Rangers.
The defence of Kilmarnock's Ayrshire Cup win from the previous season began with convincing wins against Lanemark - 5â1 at Rugby Park - and Stewarton Cunninghame - 14â0 at Standalone Park. The run came to an end after a 4â3 home defeat to Annbank in the third round.
There was success in the Kilmarnock Merchants' Charity Cup as Kilmarnock lifted the trophy for the third time after defeating Kilmarnock Athletic 5â0 in the semi-final and Hurlford 2â1 in the final.
