Match Trivia
Played at Anfield Road Liverpool, in presence of 6000 spectators and ended in favour of the Rangers by one goal to none. Richards kicked off for Everton, and the Rangers at once took up the attack. Lawrie made a fine dribble down the left, his shot being finely repelled by Joliffe the Everton custodian. For a time the home team were hard pressed, and after some beautiful play by Fraser, Heggie and Lawrie, the centre forward scored very cleverly for the Rangers 15 minutes from the start. For a long time severe pressure was brought to bear on the home citadel numerous corners falling to the Rangers. Everton however gradually improved, and towards the end of the first half play became more even. The attack on the Rangers goal continued unpleasantly persistent, and Costloy struck the corner of the upright with a scorcher. At halftime the Rangers were a goal to the good. The latter half of the game was if anything, in favour of Everton. To commence the Rangers got down to the home goal, where they remained for a period, but the powerful opposing defence frustrated their efforts. Everton gradually wore the visitors down, and nothing but shear hard luck prevented Everton from equalising. Heggie came clean away once, but Joliffe with fine judgment prevented what appeared a certain goal, Higgins at the other end put in a shot, which was only dealt with by the exercise of brilliant play by Chalmers. Lawrie sprinted at a great rate towards the finish, and again the Everton goal was menaced. No further scoring occurred and a well-fought game ended in favour of the Rangers by one goal to none.
