European statistics

Notes

1. Shared with Dumbarton F.C. after both clubs ended the season on 29 points. A play-off game at Cathkin Park on 21 May 1891 and finished 2–2, so the clubs were declared joint champions
2. Since 2008, the Glasgow Cup has become an Under-18 tournament.
3. 1975 trophy shared with Celtic after 2–2 draw
4. Played in aid of the Lord Provosts Rent Relief Fund
5. Played in aid of the Clydeside Air Raid Distress Fund
6. Played for the 75th Anniversary of Volvo
7. Also known as the Kilmarnock International Tournament
8. 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. However Edwin Van der Sar 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 1088 or 1311 minutes. Additionally, United had played other games in which goals had been conceded, but where Van der Sar did not play.
9. Match played in Malmö, Sweden.
