The Glasgow Dental Hospital Cup was a one-off football tournament held in Glasgow, Scotland over several dates in November and December 1928 with the purpose of raising funds for the Glasgow Dental Hospital and School which had a new building under construction in the city centre. [1]
The tournament was played between the city's six senior clubs: Celtic, Clyde, Partick Thistle, Queen's Park, Rangers and Third Lanark. It involved a first round with two byes, two semi-finals and a final – the same arrangement as the annual Glasgow Cup and Glasgow Merchants Charity Cup tournaments which were staged between the same teams near the start and at the end of each season respectively. All six teams were also among the 20 participants in 1928–29 Scottish Division One and would play each other twice more in that competition (the only slight novelty being that Third Lanark had just gained promotion back to the top tier) so there was little in the Dental Hospital Cup's format to generate public interest and poor attendances were recorded, not helped by the fact the fixtures were fitted into the calendar wherever they could, resulting in midweek matches in winter time. The one potential fixture which would have drawn a bigger crowd, Rangers versus Celtic, never materialised, as Partick Thistle beat both the Old Firm teams to claim the cup.
With a trophy and medals at stake, [2] the final between Rangers and Partick was reported as being more keenly contested and with a better standard of play than the earlier matches. [3] A total of £819 (equivalent to around £50,000 90 years later) was raised for the hospital. [1]

Founded in 1883, the Glasgow Football Association, based in the city of Glasgow, Scotland and affiliated to the national Scottish Football Association, is one of the oldest such bodies in football. In the modern game its influence is limited, the remit being "to represent the interests of the senior football clubs in Glasgow". Those senior clubs competing across the divisions in the Scottish Professional Football League include the two largest and most successful in the country by some distance, Celtic and Rangers, as well as Partick Thistle, Queen's Park and Clyde ; the three smaller clubs exist in the shadow of their dominant neighbours. A sixth team, Third Lanark, had a strong record until their sudden collapse in the mid 1960s.
