1897–98 Scottish Cup
Football tournament season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1897â98 Scottish Cup was the 25th season of Scotland's most prestigious football knockout competition. The cup was won by holders Rangers when they beat first-time finalists Kilmarnock 2â0 in the final at the second Hampden Park for a third victory in the competition.[1] This was the first time the trophy had been retained since Queen's Park did so in 1882.
