Match Trivia
There would be fully 25,000 spectators present at Dens Park to welcome the popular ‘Light Blues’ on their annual pilgrimage to Tayside in search of League points. Hunter was the notable absentee from the home team, while the visitors were fully represented. Stark won the toss and set his opponents the task of facing the sun and wind, but these handicaps did not unduly depress the Dundonians. The opening stages were in favour of the home team, and but for the brilliant and daring saving of Lock, the Rangers would early have been in the minority. However, a nice breakaway by Hunter enabled McPherson to get in one of his cute shots, and Crumley was well beaten at the corner of the past. After a lengthy interval, during which Dundee might have equalised, Bennett headed the second goal from a net pass by McPherson and this second disaster only served to spur on the Taysiders. In the course of saving a shot from Langlands, Lock fell with the ball in his arms, and was badly stunned, with the result that W McPherson had to fill his place in goal. On the call of half-time Hogg shot past Crumley, but was given off-side, and the interval score was – Rangers; Dundee 0. On resuming, Dundee early got on terms with McPherson and Co, and Langlands slipped on goal number one. Then Lock reappeared, though palpably unfit, and McCann equalised. The some player added the leading goal with a wonderful header, and hurt himself in the operation. Rangers were now a beaten team, and Fraser headed the fourth and last goal. A hard game, brimful of exciting incidents, ending in a win for Dundee by 4-2
