Match Trivia
A great League game this at Easter Road last night, and a great fright for Rangers. =Half an hour from the finish the Hibernian went ahead, Young fastening on to a ball from the right, and working his way in to beat Robb all hands up. Then the Ibrox men became desperate. They had had practically all the play in the first half, but too much passing and re-passing went on amongst the inside forwards. This sort of thing suited the Hibs defenders immensely. McGinnigle and Paterson were in great spoiling form, with the result that for all their supremacy, the Rangers hardly got in a shot to Stevenson. When the Hibs scored the Ibrox men awoke to the seriousness of the situation. Cunningham had a great drive, which Stevenson saved magnificently at full length, and Gordon sent to centre and had another beauty, which the Easter Road keeper again dealt with in masterly style. Hibernian also played an improved game now. Once or twice, Wood had a startling run which threatened danger. Anderson nearly hustled his way through for a second goal. Cairns managed to get the ball past Stevenson, but the point was knocked off for a previous infringement. With the end drawing near, Rangers seemed fated to drop two valuable points. Only one minute remained to go when a free kick was awarded the Ibrox men just outside the penalty line. From the right the ball went over to Meiklejohn, who tapped through what appeared rather a soft goal, but one which the League leaders thoroughly deserved, and were exceedingly grateful for. Altogether it was a game which the 12,000 spectators thoroughly enjoyed. There could be no doubt that the Rangers, were the better side, but the Hibs defenders earned the point for their great display. Stevenson did magnificent work in goal, and McGinnigle was in rampant form. Paterson and Kerr showed to most advantage in the middle line, and Wood was the forward who made most headway. Two of the Rangers youngsters rendered splendid service. One was Smith, who gave a fine exhibition, and the other McDonald, who did useful work in Dr Patersons place. Some of the older men seemed leg-weary, although Cairns played well, and Walls was sound and steady
