1922 Scottish Cup final
final match of the 1921-1922 Scottish Cup
The 1922 Scottish Cup Final was played on 15 April 1922 at Hampden Park in Glasgow and was the final of the 44th staging of the Scottish Cup. Morton (as the Greenock club was named at the time) and Rangers contested the match, Morton won the match 1–0 with Jimmy Gourlay scoring the only goal of the game in the 12th minute.
The match was hard fought, with Morton defending aggressively. Rangers captain Andy Cunningham went off on 30 minutes with a fractured jaw and Rangers played the remainder of the game with ten men. Rangers had the bulk of play and missed a number of chances to score.
The victory was Morton's sole Scottish Cup win. For the 2021–22 season, the club issued a 100th anniversary commemorative 'throwback' home kit with a similar design and no sponsor.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “1922 Scottish Cup final” as final match of the 1921-1922 Scottish Cup. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as final match of the 1921-1922 Scottish Cup. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4561220. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1922 and 2021.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
