Rovers entered the Scottish Cup every year from 1880–81 to 1884–85. Similarly to the Renfrewshire, the club only won ties in one year, namely 1883–84. In the first round, Rovers beat Lyle Athletic 4–2 away, and Greenock Northern 6–1 at home. In a sign of how Paisley had overtaken Johnstone in footballing terms, Rovers lost in front of 2,000 spectators at Abercorn 7–0 in the third round.
