Final replay

The winning goal was believed by some observers not to have fully entered the goal before being cleared, and Celtic protested but the score stood. Although their use would not have resolved that particular incident, this controversy and debate led to goal nets being introduced in the latter stages of the Scottish Cup from then on.Scottish Cup – Final, Glasgow Herald, 13 March 1893] (via The Celtic Wiki)A Cup of Tears.
