Malcolm MacDonald (Celtic)
Archibald Campbell Garrett (Heart of Midlothian)

James Caskie (Everton)
Notes: The touring party was not considered a full-strength squad. It also included
two non-Scottish born players who had already represented the Scottish League
but were not qualified to play in official international matches for Scotland.
William Lyon was born in Birkenhead, England and was invited to captain the
team as he was not only one of the leading players in the Scottish League but
was also a respected and experienced club captain. Lyon won two Junior caps for
Scotland in 1933, including one for a match against England. Welshman Benjamin
Ellis played for Motherwell and was capped six times for Wales including three
games against Scotland between 1932-1936. There is evidence that the composition
of the party was not well received in Toronto where it was considered the Scottish
FA had sent a weakened team and not of equivalent strength to the side that had
played matches in the city on the 1927 and 1935 tours.
Each player received a £25 outfit allowance, £6 per week for the duration of the tour
and out-of-pocket expenses.
Robert Manderson (Queen's Park) was the team attendant.

Malcolm MacDonald (Celtic)
Archibald Campbell Garrett (Heart of Midlothian)
Douglas Haig McAvoy (Kilmarnock)
James Caskie (Everton)
Notes: Murphy, the scorer of the second St.Louis goal, had come on as a substitute.
The selection of the St.Louis All-Stars team was made difficult as the St.Louis
Soccer League had dissolved in the previous season. In the 1938-39 season
a "one-off" competition was organised with five clubs and only two from
St.Louis. Other clubs from the city would have played in the St.Louis
Municipal League. It appears that the team was drawn from clubs playing
in this competition that included two teams from Chicago (Sparta & Manhattan
Beer) as well as the local team Burke's Undertakers. South Side Radio had
probably rejoined the Municipal League for this season.
It has not been possible to find a reason for Aldo Donelli's selection.

Contemporary reports in the Scottish newspapers write that two Canadian substitutions
were made at half-time. They do not mention either of the players' names or say that
they were replacing injured players but do note that the changes were made to the forwards.
Canadian sources name the substitutes as Tommy Wonoroski (Canadian Nationals (Nats) [Regina])
and Jim Irving (Moose Jaw).

Charles Edward Napier (Sheffield Wednesday)
James Caskie (Everton/Oct.1939 St.Mirren)
Notes: Under special war-time arrangements a player could play for a club other than the one
that held his registration. He could join another club if it was nearer and the closest
to where he was working or serving in the armed forces. In these cases both clubs are
shown. The first is the one with which he is registered and is followed by the date
and club he joined on a temporary basis. Permission was required to be given by the
first to the second club. This could be for one match or for a longer period depending
on circumstances. The date shown is of the last known consent prior to the match.
Two England players from Manchester City (Sam Barkas and Eric Brook) were injured in
a road accident travelling to Newcastle on the morning of the match. Their non-arrival
caused the kick-off to be delayed. England started with nine men before two Newcastle
United players (Richardson and Pearson) came on to the field. Thomas Pearson was born
in Edinburgh and as a Newcastle United player he went on to win two full Scottish caps
in 1947, including one for a match against England.
The attendance of 15.000 was, at the time of the match, the reduced war-time capacity
of St James Park. The game was held to raise funds for the British Red Cross Fund.

Notes: This match was played at the home of Gala Rugby Club and not Gala Fairydean Football Club.
The clubs play at adjacent grounds both called Netherdale. However, it appears that during
the War Gala Fairydean had temporarily returned to their former ground at Raid Stane Park
that was judged too small to have hosted this match.
Rae in the Army XI was a regular soldier and had previously played for the Indian Army.

Notes: The capacity of Villa Park at the time was 76.000 but was probably restricted to 70.000
for this match. However, 10.400 seats had been loaned to Birmingham Corporation for use
in war-time air raid shelters. Tickets could not be allocated until all the seats had
been returned and that was not completed until around a month before the match. That
is possibly why a ground capacity for the all-ticket match was not announced in advance.
