5th May 1920
Scottish Association
The Scottish Football Association annual general meeting was held at 6 Carlton Place, Glasgow, on Wednesday night – Mr T. White (Celtic) presiding over a large attendance of delegates.
The proposed alteration of the cup competition rules was then considered, and on the motion of Aberdeen F. C. it was decided unanimously that the Scottish Cup shall be competed for by the last 22 clubs who competed for the Qualifying Cup and 22 clubs exempted by the Association. This means that 44 clubs will take part in next season’s Scottish Cup competition.
On a show of hands the proposal of the Aberdeen Club that neutral linesmen be appointed to act in Scottish Cup tie games was carried.
