Match Trivia
Fully 6000 spectators witnessed this match at Ibrox Park. The Hibernian started the game with a slight wind against them. Mitchell sent the ball to McPherson, who shot, but the ball struck the cross bar and rebounded into play. Oswald was however, at hand and scored for the Rangers. A run by Smith and Murray nearly had the desired effect, but N Smith recovered, and play was again in the vicinity of McColl, Barker tried a hot, but McFarlane blocked. Then Ferguson passed by Kennedy, but Bell saved. Oswald and McPherson were next prominent, but ere they got within shooting distance Breslin intercepted a pass. Still the Rangers pressed and in saving a shot by A Smith Robertson conceded a corner. The ball was well placed, but Murphy got it away. A visit from the Hibs to the other end followed, and Bell had to fist out a shot from Neil. Drummond returned and a shot by McPherson struck the crossbar. Still the Rangers pressed and McColl twice had to throw out. A corner for the Rangers followed, and the ball was passed by A Smith to Oswald who scored. A long shot by McPherson landed in the net. Three goals to nothing in favour of the Rangers was the result at halftime. On resuming the Rangers, off McFarlane, obtained a corner.
