The 1938–39 Scottish Cup was the 61st staging of Scotland's most prestigious football knockout competition. This was the last edition to be played until 1946-47, as World War II forced all major football competitions in the country to be postponed. The Cup was won for the first time by Clyde, who defeated Motherwell in the final.Scottish Cup final: 80th anniversary for Clyde side that held the trophy longest, BBC Sport, 27 May 2019
