Match Trivia
Rangers and Morton both exhibited much keenness in the Greenock Infirmary benefit match at Cappielow, although most of the aggressive work was done by the locals. They kept the Ibrox team confined largely to their own territory, but could make little or nothing of Manderson and Blair. Lock’s Partick Thistle deputy also showed dexterity and coolness. Time and again the Ibrox forwards broke away on the left, and occasionally ‘Duncan’ brought them on terms with Bradford, but they lacked the ability to turn their opportunities to account. Indeed, compared with Bruce, John had an easy time. Ten minutes after the interval Stevenson, taking advantage of a momentary mix-up at the goal-mouth, registered the only goal of the afternoon, and Morton had the pull in a stirring finish. Superiority in attack gave the ‘Greenockians’ their victory, Gourlay, McCulloch and Stevenson all had a big say in the aggressive work, but the outside men were somewhat disappointing. Wright, McIntyre and Ormonde were the pick of the rear ranks. Rangers excelled in defence – as a matter of fact, the clean and powerful back play of Manderson and Blair was a feature of the game. Martin impressed me most in an intermediate line that was below their opponents’ standard. In a front rank that did some clever things in the open, but ware more or less erratic at close quarters, Lawson, ‘Duncan’, and Steel were best
