- ↑ Since 2008, the Glasgow Cup has become an Under-18 tournament.
- ↑ 1975 trophy shared with Celtic after 2–2 draw
- ↑ Played in aid of the Lord Provosts Rent Relief Fund
- ↑ Played in aid of the Clydeside Air Raid Distress Fund

- ↑ This record was arguably beaten by Manchester United's Edwin van der Sar after 75 minutes of their game against West Bromwich Albion on 27 January 2009. Van der Sar, however, conceded three goals against Gamba Osaka, in the Club World Cup in Yokohama, Japan, on 18 December 2008. Unless this competition is discounted, Woods' record stands, since Van der Sar next conceded on 4 March, in a Premier League game at Newcastle United, to Peter Løvenkrands, ending his record at either 1,088 or 1,311 minutes. Additionally, United had played other games in which goals had been conceded, but where Van der Sar did not play.

None was forthcoming, largely because Rangers were at the time under a one-year suspension from UEFA due to the misbehaviour of their supporters. However, the match went ahead, albeit in an unofficial capacity, as the Scottish club, who were having centennial celebrations that year, willingly obliged.

What is the longest that a side has gone without conceding a goal? The British shut-out record has stood for 15 years. In season 1986-87, Rangers' England keeper Chris Woods went 1,196 minutes in all competitions, from November to January, without conceding a goal.

Edwin van der Sar's English league-record shutout streak ended at 1,311 minutes when his blunder gave Newcastle's Peter Lovenkrands a go-ahead goal in the ninth minute of Manchester United's 2-1 Premier League victory on Wednesday night.

Woods is adamant his record is in no danger because his achievement was set over consecutive matches, while van der Sar was rested in recent games when replacement Ben Foster lost goals to Derby County and Tottenham Hotspur in the Carling and FA Cups.
