History

The Scottish Cup match with 5th RRV finished 7–7 in 1883–84. It is still the highest recorded scoring draw in tournament history.[4]

David Calderhead, a stalwart of the club between 1881 and 1889, was capped for Scotland against Ireland in 1889. The match resulted in a resounding 7–0 win.[2][5]

The Queen's claimed some notable scalps in 1889, with victories against Rangers (6–2) and Bolton Wanderers (5–3).[6][7] It was the first Scottish club to play Liverpool at Anfield in September 1892.[8][9]

The Wanderers secured a treble of cups in 1892–93, with victories in the Churchill Cup, the Southern Counties Challenge, and Charity Cups.[10]

The team lost both finals of the Southern Counties' Cups in its last season of competition in 1893–94.[11][12]

On August 13, 1894, the committee voted to dissolve the club.[13] The reason was a combination of professionalism and difficultly in arranging fixtures since League football was introduced.[14]

The club have no connection to the modern football team called Queen of the South.[15]

Colours

For most of the club's existence, its colours were blue and white hoops with white shorts; for the last two seasons, the blue hoops were changed to black.[16]
