Venue	Cathkin Park, Crosshill

Attendance	7,000

The 1886 Scottish Cup Final was the 13th final of the Scottish Cup and the final of the 1885–86 Scottish Cup, the most prestigious knockout football competition in Scotland. The match was played at Cathkin Park in Crosshill (today part of Glasgow) on 13 February 1886 and was watched by a crowd of 7,000 spectators. The final was contested by defending champions Renton and seven-time winners Queen's Park.[1]

This was the first Scottish Cup final since 1880 to be decided without the need for a replay (excluding the 1884 final which went unplayed).

Background

Queen's Park had reached the final on seven previous occasions and had gone on to win the competition on each occasion. This was the fifth time in seven seasons which Queen's Park had reached the final.

Defending champions Renton had only previously reached the final twice before, lifting the trophy in 1885, 10 years after they finished as runners-up.

Renton and Queen's Park had played twice before in the Scottish Cup, although they hadn't been drawn together for over a decade. Renton hadn't scored a goal against Queen's Park before the 1886 final with the Glasgow side winning 3–0 in the 1875 final and 2–0 in the 1874 semi-finals.
