Match Trivia
A great game was witnessed at Cappielow, where Rangers divided the points with Morton. The Ibrox team should have scored in the second half, but all credit is due to the Morton for the great defence which they put up. Splendid football was witnessed in the first half, and, if anything, the honours were with the home team. It took Rangers some time to settle down, and meanwhile, McNab and French were all but scoring. The centre was almost through in the first few moments, but luckily McCandless came to the rescue. McNab repeatedly outwitted the opposition and seemed to have no difficulty in getting the better of the Rangers’ backs. Midway through the half, the Rangers steadied up, and from that onwards the game was fast and exciting. There were dome great bouts between Alan Morton and McIntyre, the latter proving more than a match for the clever winger. Archibald made tings lively on the other side, covering the ground in fine style. The Rangers’ front line as a whole, however, was not working so smoothly as it might, and this was largely due to the effective tackling of the Morton halfs. Rangers resumed as if they were going to sweep everything before them. They were out at score at all costs, and it was evident that Morton’s defence was going to be severely tested. Henderson worked like a Trojan, and Alan Morton and Archibald kept cutting in with some nice centres. There was always a Morton man in the way, and, strange though it may seem, in view of such heavy pressure, very few really good shots had to be handled by Edwards. McCandless, on one occasion, carried the ball right down the field, and tried on his own, but he was no more successful than his colleagues in front. The goal seemed inevitable, but a head or foot always got in the way. Little was seen of McNab in the second half. He got few opportunities to shine, and the few occasions on which the Rangers’ area was visited were when Thom and French got on the move. McCandless was a bit unsteady in the early part of the game and found the Cappielow left wing a big handful. Latterly, however, he gave a very fine display. The half-backs were sound, with Dixon the most conspicuous. The two extreme wings men were the best of the forwards. Both Morton backs were in grand form, Gibson playing that was perhaps his best game of the season. McIntyre and Wright were equally good, and the quartette was largely responsible for Morton’s clean sheer. None of the three internationalists gave what can be termed a brilliant display. McNab was at the best in the first half, but he got little support after the interval. Alan Morton improved wonderfully as the game proceeded, but he had heavy opposition in McIntyre. Cunningham has been seen in better advantage
