Match Trivia
Magnificent weather favoured this holiday engagement, which took place at Ibrox Park, Govan. Fully 6000 spectators were present. Losing the toss the Rangers kicked off. After some play in the centre the Rangers forwards got off, but Barker shot behind. Then Bell had a run, and when near goal he passed back to Chadwick, who sent in a scorcher, but it missed by inches. The Everton continued to have the best of it, and twice Haddow had to save shots. At last a pass by Bell was smartly placed in the net by Hartley. First goal for Everton. The Rangers strove hard to equalise after this, but their shooting was rash, and they missed several easy chances. Again the Everton got on the ball, and after a fruitless corner Geary notched their second goal with a swift shot. A corner for Rangers followed, but Elliot got it safely away. Halftime result – Everton 2 goals: Rangers 0. When the teams re-appeared, the sun was shining brilliantly. The Everton got a corner, but it came to nothing. Barker and McPherson got away, and were looking well when Boyle kicked into touch. The Everton got the advantage of the throw-in, and Geary made off single-handed for Haddow. The Everton man shot, and the ball rolled into the net, while Haddow and Geary collided. The Everton man had to leave the field. Three goals down the Rangers made strenuous efforts to improve their position, but they were met by a stubborn defence. Geary now came on again. Three goals to the bad made the Rangers play up. They put on a spurt, and McCreadie with a fine shot, notched the first goal. The Rangers continued to have the best of it after this. They got a brace of corners, but neither had the desired effect. Barker and McPherson were putting in some grand work, especially the former. Everton got a free kick ten yards out, from which they scored their fourth goal. This finished the scoring. Final result – Everton 4 goals: Rangers 1 goal.
