Celtic Games 1891 - Dumbarton Cup Protest

The Scotsman - Wednesday, 7th January 1891, page 5

Scottish Football Association – The General Committee of the Scottish Football Association met in their rooms, Waterloo Street, Glasgow, last night . . .
The Celtic's protest was next taken up. The grounds of protest were practically the same as the Leith Athletic's — unplayability of the ground. The referee. Mr Dunn, Cambuslang, was in attendance. and gave it as his opinion that the ground was playable after the snow had been cleared. On the consideration that both clubs had protested, it was moved that the protest be sustained, and on a vote the numbers were equal— six each. The chairman gave his casting vote against the protest being sustalned and it was accordingly dismisssd. Some strong things were said regarding Dumbarton’s action in lodging and then withdrawing their protest but nothing definite was done.
