1877–78 Scottish Cup 1st Round, Pollokshaws 0–2 Renfrew, Paisley Daily Express, 8 October 1877
The club was founded in 1876.[1] The earliest recorded match for the club was a 2–0 defeat to Thornliebank in October that year.[2]
In its first season it won and lost 6 matches each, and drew 3 more,[3] and off the back of that record joined the Scottish Football Association in August 1877.[4]
Its only senior match, in the first round of the 1877–78 Scottish Cup, was not completed. At home to Renfrew, Pollokshaws had gone 2–0 down, when its players walked off in protest at a refereeing decision.[5] The match was never re-played and Renfrew was put into the second round.[6]
