Match Trivia
The treacherous footing and heavy rain in the closing half notwithstanding, much meritorious football was witnessed at Meadowside. The changes in the teams lent assed interest to the fixture. Although defeated Partick are due praise for a plucky stand against their cross-river rivals, whose forwards played better together than they have since the Glasgow Cup final. Howden kept a good goal, as also did Newbigging, who had however, the greater difficulty in getting rid of a couple of high balls in the opening portion. At back the Rangers, with Hendry and Jackson, had slightly the pull, although McKenzie played splendidly for the ground club, and was perhaps the best of the four engaged. Riddell got less to do than his partner, who did not get the same chance to shine. He kicked a good length, and although as yet deficient in recovery and resource, may be said to have made a very fair first appearance. At half the Thistle, with Allan and Gallacher playing at the top of their game, were a little ahead of the Rangers trio, and although Gibson had a tough journey against Kyle and Smith, and has often been seen to greater advantage, the division was the most effective in the team. Taylor, if somewhat crude, wrought hard but laced badly, but the other pair – Campbell and Galt – although more prominent, were also at fault in this part of their duties. There was no outstanding player in the Thistle attack, if Ferguson, who spoiled a good outfield display by weak finishing, is excepted. Kyle and Smith were clever and artistic as usual, but Dickie although doing fairly well, did not touch the standard reached by him against the Queen’s Park and St Mirren. The state of the ground was probably accountable for the comparative failure of the little man. Steven came out of his shell in the second half, and with Campbell shared in the scoring. Hamilton combined his wings unselfishly
