[4] The best run the club had in the Qualifying Cup competition was reaching the semi-final of the northern section (fourth round) in 1937–38, at which stage it lost 2–0 to Blairgowrie.

[5] The club never came close to winning a first round tie, although it was unfortunate in 1928–29 against Armadale, to be reduced to ten men for much of the match due to injury.

[6] In 1936–37, the club was drawn at home to Hamilton Academical, and tried to switch the tie to the Acas' Douglas Park (for a better gate) on the basis that "part of their barricade was down".

[7] The Scottish Football Association was taking a hard line against switching ties and the game took place at Newmains, attracting an attendance of nearly 1,000, and a gate of £35.

The club won the Scottish Amateur Cup in 1923–24, beating Greenock High School Former Pupils in the final at Cappielow Park, thanks to a goal from Manson;[11] it was twice runner-up.
