St Andrew's Football Club was an association football club from Kilmarnock, Ayrshire in Scotland.
The club was founded in 1873. [3]
St Andrew's first entered the Scottish Cup in 1876–77, and was drawn at home to Ayr Eglinton in the first round. [4] The game ended in a 1–1 draw. [5]
The replay was played on 7 October at the neutral Robbsland Park (the ground of Ayr Thistle F.C.) and lasted only an hour, St Andrew's winning 1–0. [6]
In the second round, the club was drawn to play at the Portland club, on the latter's ground at Nursery Park, on Holehouse Road. The home side won 2–0 in a "one-sided game". [7]
The club played matches regularly until the end of the season, the final one advertised being against Rosevale of Strathbungo on 14 April 1877, [8] but the club appears to have wound up before the start of the 1877–78 season, as it scratched from its first round Scottish Cup tie with Ayr Thistle, [9] and did not enter the new Ayrshire Cup.
The club's colours were black and red hoops. [10]
The club probably started out playing on public parks, but it had a new ground at Holehouse Road for the 1875–76 season, opening it with a match against a Kilmarnock F.C. scratch XI. [11] It moved to Grange Park in time for its Cup tie with Ayr Eglinton. [12]
The 1875–76 Scottish Cup – officially the Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup – was the third season of Scotland's most prestigious football knockout competition. The number of entrants nearly doubled from the previous season with 49 teams included in the first round draw. The competition began on 2 October 1875 and concluded with the final replay on 18 March 1876. This was the first season that teams would only change ends at half time, the tradition of changing ends after a goal had been scored came to an end. The cup was won for the third time by Queen's Park who defeated fellow Glasgow club 3rd Lanark RV 2–0 in the replayed final.
The 1876–77 Scottish Cup – officially the Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup – was the fourth season of Scotland's most prestigious football knockout competition. Entries to the competition again increased with a total of 81 clubs involved in the first round draw. This resulted in an earlier start to the competition than in previous seasons with the first matches played on 23 September 1876. The cup was won for the first time by Dunbartonshire club Vale of Leven who defeated Rangers 3–2 in a twice-replayed final.

The 1878–79 Scottish Cup – officially the Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup – was the sixth season of Scotland's most prestigious football knockout competition. Defending champions Vale of Leven met Rangers in the final but, after a 1–1 draw in the original match on 19 April 1879, the replay was scratched and Vale of Leven were awarded the cup. Rangers objected to a goal being disallowed in the original match and refused to play the replay.
