Match Trivia
About 10,000 spectators patronised this match at Ibrox Park. The Rangers opened with an attack on the Saints goal, and ought to have scored. Breaking away on the right Lindsay by a brilliant single-handed effort beat Allan, who however ought to have saved. The Rangers gradually wakened up and Mackie headed the equalising goal after good work by Walker and Kyle. Shortly after Turnbull scored the leading point, although brought down while in the act of shooting. The home team held their opponents safely till halftime. Halftime – Rangers 2 goals: Saints 1. The resumption saw the Saints striving desperately for the equaliser, and after a fine centre by Lindsay, who beat Fraser, McPherson scored. It was a stirring game now and both goalkeepers were tested unsuccessfully. After an offside goal for each side McDonald took advantage of slackness in the Rangers defence close on time, and put on the winning goal. Result – St Mirren 3 goals: Rangers 2 goals.
