Match Trivia
Always a popular draw in Bridgeton, the visit of the ‘Light Blues’ to Shawfield gave the Clyde officials a ray of sunshine in a season blighted by dismissal in the Qualifying stages of the cup. Those who follow the fortune of the Clyde think the most recent arrangement of the attack should be persevered with, while Morrison ought not to be overlooked for a position in the middle line. The Clyde are certainly tinkering with the attack, and cannot hope for success in these bigger matches until they desist. Despite the absence of so many leading players, the Rangers were able for the task set them, and won comfortably. The Clyde were seen at their best in the first half, but the forwards lacked the finishing touched of their opponents, whose half-back dominated matters in the second half. Barrie was in excellent fettle. Kyle scored the only goal of the first period, and Gordon from long range had the other. McTurk inspires more confidence in the Clyde defence than his predecessor did in his latter days, and the ex-Rentonian showed distinct promise of turning out well. For the second week in succession Gilligan was seen to advantage at back, but the halves were a bit unequal and were frequently beaten with ease. The forward play was better than of late, and the officials should give the five a fair chance to combine by playing them regularly. Law and Jackson set up a good defence at back for the winners and the halves were clever and enterprising. The left wing, as usual against Clyde teams, was always in evidence, and McDonald on the right appears to be the very partner for Livingstone
