[4] Ironically its crosstown rivals Barrhead had already been eliminated, and Rangers took advantage, beating Renfrew Ramblers in the second round,[5] and the Rangers were only narrowly beaten at the eventual finalists Thornliebank in the third, the Model Villagers scoring the only goal of the game on a breakaway with five minutes to go.
[6] In the Renfrewshire Cup that season, the Rangers beat Abercorn 5–1,[7] before facing another Barrhead side, Arthurlie.
The tie, before 500 spectators at Springfield, ended 1–1;[8] it is however not clear if a replay was ever held, as there is no further reference to the Barrhead Rangers club.
The club appears to have merged into Arthurlie, as its key players - M'Nab,[9] new captain M'Cowat,[10] and Melville,[11] who had all played for the Renfrewshire representative side while registered with Rangers[12][13] - are all recorded as playing for Arthurlie the following season.
[14] There is no available record of the club's colours; it joined the Scottish FA too late for inclusion in the yearbook, and was absorbed into Arthurlie before it could make a second entry.
