The 1920–21 Scottish Cup was the 43rd staging of Scotland's most prestigious football knockout competition.
The Cup was won for the first time in their history by Partick Thistle who defeated Rangers in the final.
Partick Thistle had two goalless draws with Hibernian - the first at Easter Road and the second at Firhill in front of 25,000 fans, before a single goal from MacFarlane, who played no part in the final, saw off the Hibs in the 2nd replay.
The second replay on Tuesday 21 February 1921 at Parkhead, Glasgow had an attendance of over 20,000 on a wet and stormy day.
Partick Thistle beat East Stirlingshire 2–0 with Jimmy Kinloch scoring both goals.
