Scottish Football Council
The first meeting of the newly constituted Scottish Football Council was held in Glasgow on Friday night. Mr William Lorimer, president, warmly welcomed the new members, and asked for the local support in the new session. (Applause.) The council at once proceeded to select clubs to be exempted from the Qualifying Cup competition. The president moved that the top sixteen clubs of the Scottish League be exempted. The following clubs were therefore exempted from the Qualifying Cup competition – Dundee, Aberdeen, Celtic, Rangers, Third Lanark, Partick Thistle, Clyde, Hibernian, Heart of Midlothian, Falkirk, Motherwell, Airdrieonians, Hamilton Academicals, St Mirren, Port-Glasgow, and Greenock Morton.

Scottish League Decides
A special meeting of both Divisions of the Scottish Football League was held in Glasgow last night – Mr Ward presiding. The meeting had under discussion a letter from the Football Council protesting against the new law of the Scottish League which prohibits Second Division clubs from taking part in the Consolation Cup ties, the first round of which falls to be drawn on 14th December. The new law had threatened to bring about an open rupture between the Football Council and the League, but a promise of Mr Nicol, of Falkirk, that he would table a motion to rescind the new rule removed the threatened trouble. Mr Nicol, moved his resolution to rescind the new rule, and this was agreed to unanimously. The following Second League clubs will therefore now take part in the Consolation Cup:- Raith Rovers, Cowdenbeath, Abercorn, Vale of Leven, Albion Rovers, Arthurlie, East Stirlingshire, St Bernard, and Ayr Parkhouse.
