Frank scored in every round including the goal in the final although Preston lost the match against Sunderland 3-1. On 17 April 1937 he made his first of six international appearances for Scotland, netting a goal in a 3-1 win at Hamden Park over England.

The following season saw Frank make 14 appearances, scoring 7 goals to take his total to 36 goals from 92 appearances. His last game was a 1-1 draw at Derby on 27 November 1937. His final goal came a week earlier in a 2-0 home win over Blackpool.
