Match Trivia
Thrills were entirely absent from Ibrox yesterday. It was poor stuff, and Clydebank were as soundly thrashed as the 6 goals to 1 result indicates. True, the Yoker team came into the picture now and again. Chalmers gave them a goal in the second half, but when this crumb of consolation arrived Rangers were four up. As a matter of fact, Clydebank only took a hand in the attacking during the periodical peregrinations of the ‘Light Blues’ in Easy Street. In course of these interludes some of the Clydebank play was quite clever, but it was never punchy enough or sustained enough to make a lasting impression on ‘the enemy’. A penalty came Clydebank’s way for what I thought was a very, very mild infringement by Muirhead, but Robb did better here than when Chalmers counted. Willie saved finely from McLavin; when he lost the goal he was from home when he should have been between the posts. Nor were Robb’s supports blameless. They were resting for the moment. Let me tell you the tale of the goals. Craig miskicked and McDiarmid went through alone to count. Six minutes - ten after the start – Morton made a bad job of a Cairns cross, and Cunningham clinched it. Nearing the interval McDiarmid sent the ‘free’ whizzing past Morton. Meiklejohn added a fourth; after Chalmers had reduced the leeway, Cunningham brought out the handful, and McDiarmid collected the sixth. We – there were four or five thousand of us – were glad when it was all over. All the Rangers played nicely – they moved well within themselves. The Clydebank fellows I liked best were Stevenson, Scraggs and McLavin. Robertson had one snap shot in the closing stages, which warmed Robb’s fingers
