Hibernian were without Tommy Younger, Jock Paterson, Lawrie Reilly, and Willie Ormond.
Paterson, Reilly, and Ormond were selected for the Scottish League XI to play the Welsh League XI in Cardiff on 24 September, while Wilson Humphries of Motherwell (a late replacement for Derek Grierson of Rangers) was also called up, but all of them were denied permission by the Scottish Football League to be released for the game.

The trophy and mementoes for the players were presented by Mr T.A. Kerr, the Lord Provost of Glasgow, at the end of the match.
Hibernian faced Motherwell again five days later on 27 September in the Scottish Football League and gained a measure of revenge with a 7–3 victory at Fir Park. Lawrie Reilly and Jock Paterson were restored to the Hibs line up. Reilly netted four times for the "Hibees".
