Report and teams of a friendly association football match, Vale of Leven Rovers v Rovers, The Scotsman, 9 November 1874

The club entered the Scottish Cup in 1874–75 and 1875–76. In 1874–75, the club lost at Kilmarnock in the first round,[1] and scratched from the competition the following year, having been drawn to face Dumbreck.

The side to face Kilmarnock was:

W. M'Lellan, goal; P. M'Kinley and P. Docherty, backs; J. M'Nicol and A. M'Kinley, half-backs; R.Milne (captain), H. Irvine, J. M'Allister, P. M'Allister, J. M'Dougall, and G. Smith, forwards.

There are references to a Glaswegian Vale of Leven Rovers in 1887[2] and 1892,[3] but these almost certainly relate to different clubs, as there is no record of the Vale of Leven Rovers (Glasgow) between 1876 and 1887.
