Match Trivia
The Accies showed sufficient enterprise at Ibrox to sustain interest in a game which Rangers never looked like losing. The Larkhall Thistle centre made his debut for the ‘Govanites,’ and he played quite a convincing game. Rangers were first on target, and Mason, after a faulty clearance, came away with a distinctive clearance. It was all against the ‘balance’ when the Accies drew first blood. Lock saved from Kyle, and Martin made a ‘bloomer’ when he attempted the keeper’s part. The resultant penalty was safely housed by McNeill. The Lanarkshire side were more in the game after this, but the equaliser was due when McDiarmid, from well out, scored with a beautiful ball, which travelled low all the time, and found its billet. Rangers fell into a good stride, and Hart and Archibald each beat Mason, leaving the ‘Light Blues’ to cross over with a two-goal lead. As in the first half, the Accies were first to score. Greenhorn was the marksman, and Lock was beaten all ends up. Martin completed the Rangers’ triumph, Mason having no chance with his vision obscured. Rangers were good winners, the Accies’ portion this half being a good ten minute. Rangers were, all over, the better side, because of the balance of their forwards. Archibald and Bowie were a capital wing, McDiarmid and Cairns equally as good, with the outside man a vast improvement on the much-paragraphed Young. Bob’s goal was a beauty; he shot so unexpectedly. Hart made a very favourable debut, and scored his goal in a most workmanlike way. He kept his wings going better than any centre Rangers have had for years. Martin was the better half, but less gallery work would do. Manderson was the better of the rear defence line, with Blair not far behind. For the losers, Greenhorn and Kyle were the better wing of a line that was none too well led. McNeill was quiet, but often very effective, but because of his hard work McNamee was more useful. McAllister played a clever defensive game and Miller robust and dashing. Mason was not to blame for the four goals against him
