Match Trivia
In a match which favoured Rangers greatly so far as run of play goes, Clyde might have come off winners. The Chances were there, and even yet it is difficult to realise how Haddow let them slip. In the first half-hour he might have counted on three occasions had he steadied and kept his wits. On one occasion, he had real hard luck when he brought the ball over his head and just failed to get it home with Tom Hamilton out of reach. Rangers never had such open chances, although the more aggressive right up to the interval. Fraser, however, had to bring off some good saves, and both Maguire and Blair were the busy men in company with the half-backs. In the second half, it was nearly all Rangers. They did everything except score, although they claimed a goal and a penalty-kick - the first when the ball might have been over the line before coming out off the post. Everything occurred so quickly that the referee could scarcely have awarded a goal, there was so little in it. McPhail was the one forward who looked likely to pull a winner, and he nearly did it late, Fraser making a grand save. And then, after all the Rangers’ futile pressure, the Clyde left wing got down in almost the last minute, and Tom Hamilton had to make a desperate sort of save to keep Dougal from scoring. Rangers were by no means at their best. It is possible the light ball worried them, but it was too much in the air, and this was all in favour of a tall man like Gibson, who took care to play for safety by kicking out, at which the crowd said a thing or two. All the Clyde half-backs worked hard, and forward Williamson and Dougal were best. Jessiman had one of the bets tries of the match, and Hamilton then made a fine save by throwing himself at a ball going away from him. Haddow was too often offside. Marshall and Simpson, who came in for Archibald and Craig, played a mixed sore of game – sometimes very good and at other times misdirecting the pass. But that was a common fault
