[6] The club had early ambitions, in its first season arranging home-and-home matches against Queen's Park (albeit a second XI), and not being disgraced with defeats by 3–0 and 3–1, the club's only goal coming from a scrimmage in the match at Hampden Park being "loudly cheered" by the generous home fans.

[8] In the second round, the club came from behind to beat St. Andrew's, with goals from Sharp and captain M'Lennan (the latter from a Stiven left-wing cross); St. Andrew's protested that Sharp's goal should not have been allowed, but it was turned down.

[9] The club's run ended in the third round with a 2–1 home defeat to Northern of Glasgow, St. Clement's handicapped by captain M'Lennan being forced to miss the game.

[16] By the 1879–80 season, Westwater and Gorthy were turning out regularly for Our Boys instead[17] and St. Clement's may no longer have existed other than as a notional member of the Scottish FA; the local media did not report on any matches which did take place.

St. Clement's continued to enter the Scottish Cup but did not play any ties after the Dunmore victory.
