Match Trivia
Rangers atoned for the disaster, which befell them at Rugby Park recently by a well-merited win at Ibrox Park in the return match. The circumstances in which it was achieved enhanced the value of the performance, for they had to play the greater part of the game without Crawford, who strained himself, and had perforce to re-arrange the back division by drawing Stark into his place. The game was a hard one throughout, but although the Light Blues seemed the better side and worked very earnestly, it was fully half an hour ere they got into their stride. Campbell reappearance strengthened the right wing, and he signalised his debut by heading the first goal of the match for the Rangers off one of Smiths crosses. The left-winger was in somewhat like his best form, his leading out runs and fast centres being the best seen in the game. He got a second goal just after Campbell had broken the ice, and Kilmarnock were a couple of goals down at the interval. The visiting team at times delighted their supporters, the re-arranged left wing being an improvement on the old. Maitland, Howie and Morton were particularly persevering, but Graham could not get a second opportunity to distinguish himself, so vigilant was Neil. In the second half the team came away strong, but their hopes were dashed to the ground by Gibson scoring a third goal very cleverly. Success at last came their way, a free kick close in being well finished by Howie. The some player, who is usually seen to advantage on Glasgow turf secured a second goal, but the Rangers handicapped as they were, held their own to the finish in right lucky fashion. Both goalkeepers did well, and a good understanding was noticeable in the Kilmarnock ranks. Drummond, notwithstanding the extra work thrown upon him played a thoroughly sound game for the winners, and Gibson was as agile as ever. The forward play was an improvement on their last show at Ibrox, and in a god line Smith was best. All over Kilmarnock made their best appearance at Ibrox, and to untiring work of McPherson, Anderson and Mitchell much of the credit is due
