Match Trivia
These clubs played their protested fixture at Dumbarton last night in fine weather, and in presence of a fair crowd. The last match was won by Dumbarton by 4 goals to 1, but the Rangers protested because the official referee did not turn up, hence the replay. Rangers won the toss and Miller started play with a strong sun in his eyes. The home men by fine play were immediately in front of Haddow, but a corner and a free kick gave them no advantage, although a score nearly resulted from the latter. Dumbarton pressed most persistently, and the Rangers goal had some really wonderful escape. A fee kick fell to Dumbarton but Bell kicked clean through. The Rangers had a look in but the ball was put past. Headed by Galbraith who was playing a grand game, the Dumbarton forwards had a fine run, a corner resulting. A very exciting scrimmage followed In front of the Rangers goal, and a penalty kick was awarded for one of the Rangers fisting out. Bell took the kick, and though Haddow came out to the six yards line, the ball was put through. Leith Kerr tried a shot from long range, but Dunbar relieved with a huge kick. The light blues transferred play to the other end, but McCreadie made a bad job of his shot at goal. Still pegging into their work the Glasgow men got a free kick near goal, and they had hard lines in not scoring. The attack was repelled by the home men; Haddow for the next few minutes had a most anxious time. Dunbar was tackling grandly, and but for him the Rangers goal would have fallen. At last Bell ran the ball clean trough the goal, and a minute later he headed in another goal, which for some resume was disallowed. However another point was added before the interval, when Dumbarton were leading by 3 goals to 0. Although facing a slight breeze on restarting, the home team began well, and through a miss-kick by one of the Rangers backs Miller got an easy but smartly taken goal. Galbraith was still delighting the spectators with his tricky play, and Allan had a hot time of it watching him. The Rangers got away, and McCreadie struck the post with a fine shot. McLeod then saved very smartly, but he was almost beaten in the next minute. McDonald got the ball away, but the Rangers returned, and McBain shot over. From the bye kick the Dumbarton forwards got off, and Thomson put the ball through, but he was adjudged offside. Drummond was going very lame and was of little use to his side. McBain had the best run of the match, but McLeod got the ball away. A Miller cleverly stopped the Rangers right wing, and dribbling up the field a bit, he passed the ball forward. Bell and McNaught got hold of it and carried it a little further, the latter shot and Thomson, coming in off the other side headed through. From this the Rangers were completely beaten at every point. The Dumbarton forwards ran and passed grandly, and to compare the display with that of Saturday against the Clyde, one would not have believed that it was the same team. Some splendid work ended in Gilbraith shooting a fine goal, and with ordinary care one or two other points might have been scored. As it was, the Rangers were most decisively defeated by 6 goals to 0.
