Further details
In the above exhibition match played on 27th August 1890, Queen's Park defeated Hibernians 9-1. R. Muir-Glen was probably an assumed name, a not uncommon practise at the time, possibly due to the rather fine line between amateur and professional. He mat have been Robert Glen who played later in the 1890s for Renton and for Scotland against Wales in 1895 and 1896
