Match Trivia
Whiteford, Ayr centre half, made a name for himself against the mighty Rangers. For the full ninety minutes he was here, there and everywhere whenever the Light Blues made a thrust on the home goal. Thornton was not in the least happy against the stalwart ex-Glencairn Junior. He had one of the leanest days in his career. The pivot got good support from Dyer and Craik. Where Ayr failed badly was forward. All five men played below form. They never looked dangerous against a powerful Rangers mid-line in which Symon and Woodburn were outstanding. Robertson, signed from Clyde on Friday, hit the crossbar with Dawson well beaten in an early Ayr attack. Thereafter he faded out of the game. On the other hand, the Light Blues had a thrustful attack, in which Gilmour was the spearhead. It was nothing for him on occasion to beat three men before passing to a colleague. Eighteen minutes after the resumption he apparently forgot to pass to a colleague and found himself alone in front of goal. He made to shoot strongly. Hall was deceived, and the inside-right tapped the ball past him. Ayr never got over this reverse. Rangers did all the attacking in the closing minutes. Three minutes from time Galloway got a second goal when he cleverly beat Hall from close in
