Match Trivia
Scottish League match at Ibrox before 3000 spectators. The Third won the toss, and started with the wind and sun in their favour. The ground team, despite sun and wind, worked their way near Milne, but dallying too long with the ball, Low lost a good opportunity, his parting kick being feeble. Play was tame for a time, neither side showing too much advantage. A foul against Fallow was followed by a nice piece of passing by Turnbull and Kerr, who were eventually beaten by Simpson and Gardner. From a corner against the Rangers Hannah almost had the initiatory goal of the game. The Third forwards were performing very indifferently at goal. Their shooting was wild in the extreme, and consequently many fair openings were poorly utilised. After being penned in their own quarters for about 15 minutes, the Rangers left wing went off on a promising run, which was stopped on the 12 yards line by Gardner. The Third retaliated with a good display of quick passing, finishing with a shot into Yuille’s hands. The homesters tried hard to get past midfield, but the strength of the visitors defence, together with the force of the wind, went to form a combination against which little progress was possible. At halftime there was no scoring. The Third restarted against the breeze, but made little progress. By clever play, the Rangers monopolized most of the play, but found the defence opposed to them too good to be easily beaten, McCue, in particular showing to advantage. A foul against Hannah enabled Drummond to place the ball in the net, but as it touched no one during its progress the point did not count. Some dashing work enabled the visitors to force a corner off Yuille, who had to throw the ball behind a minute later, and give a second corner, which brought no tangible result to the Third. The visiting forwards played finer football against the wind than wit it; Gibbons in particular, played splendidly. Yuille by a really good save, kept his charge intact from a well-judged free kick Crawford was deservedly cheered for a magnificent piece of play, in which he outwitted several opponents. A free kick against Mitchell gave Yuille an opportunity to show his saving powers. He cleverly cleared although beset by two Third men. The Third were more than holding their own, and but for good goalkeeping would have scored. For too vigorous attention to Gillespie, Drummond was penalised, and the free kick availed the Third little, as the ball was kicked past. The result was a draw, no scoring.
