Match Trivia

Ayr Charity Cup. These two teams met on the ground of the former. The fame of the Glasgow club brought together a large concourse of spectators. The home team winning the toss played with the wind in their favour and for the first quarter of an hour gave the Rangers backs plenty of work. The forwards of the latter, however ultimately managed to score. On resuming after halftime the home forwards equalised matters. Shortly after, by good combined play on the part of their forwards, they succeeded by adding another goal to their total. The Rangers at this part had decidedly the worst of the game, the goalkeeper having to knock out the ball four times in as many minutes. Towards the close of the game, however the home players seemed to tire and the strangers putting on a spurt scored twice, the game ending in their favour by three goals to two. The game was of the most enjoyable description came about and certainly a better-contested game has been seldom witness in Ayr.
