Match Trivia
The game at Ibrox Park, where Queens Park were the visitors, hand many interesting features. The defences of both teams were more than a match for the display of the forwards, which was not up to the usual standard. It was with the aid of a penalty at four minutes before the interval that Cunningham from the spot kick beat Hunter and scored the only goal of the half. The goalkeeper had come for his goal, and the ball was sailing into the het when Steel deliberately fisted it from under the bar. The Amateurs half-back were responsible for many runs by their forwards, for with head and feet they fed them, but when within the danger zone there was something lacking in finishing. Paterson, on the Rangers right, was not the player he is on the left. When a foul was granted Rangers near the penalty line Gordon took the free kick, and Hunter had his hardest shot to stop. A different tale had to be told of the second period, when the 15,000 spectators had not long to wait for thrills and goals. In their first run up ere the game was a minute old, Henderson accepted a sweet pass from Bowie and Hunter was beaten, with the Light Blues two up. The Ibrox forwards forced a corner ten minutes later, and Paterson planted the ball from the place kick so accurately that Muirhead had simply to nod it into the net. Although Rangers monopolised the play pretty much afterwards, Willie Robb was called on several times to show his goalkeeping abilities, and that he did in a worthy manner. Bouts between Paterson and Thom were immensely enjoyed, especially by the home supporters, but though the doctor invariably had the better of matters the Hampden back was full of confidence, and was not always beaten. At seven minutes to go Kinloch and Renwick had a fine-passing run, and McAlpine, accepting a beautiful cross from the latter, shot strongly and with precision, and the ball passed through a host of legs and into the net. Of two equally-matched teams in the open, Rangers, the more deadly at goal, deserved to win, and for that their defence and the Amateurs poor finishing were to thank. Gordon and Manderson were a tower of strength. Cunningham in the second half excelled in the middle line, though the other two also did well. The forwards were a little disjointed. As with the Light Blues, Queens defence was the better part of their team, with no one outstanding
