1938–39 Scottish Cup
Football tournament season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1938–39 Scottish Cup was the 61st staging of Scotland's most prestigious football knockout competition. This was the last edition to be played until 1946-47, as World War II forced all major football competitions in the country to be postponed. The Cup was won for the first time by Clyde, who defeated Motherwell in the final.[1]
