Match Trivia
The first meeting of the season between these two crack Glasgow clubs at Hampden Park attracted a large concourse of spectators and the afternoon brightening up wonderfully made the outing most enjoyable. The one sidedness of the contest however caused a good deal of disappointment for it was expected that the Rangers instead of being beaten by five goals to none, would have been quite able to have held their own against the best team the senior club could muster. At the outset of the game it certainly did look as if the Rangers were going to carry all before them. At once making a determined assault on the Queen’s Park goal; but after a bit the home team rallied wonderfully and neither of the sides had any advantage. Unfortunately for the younger club, their captain (who had been complaining before the game began) got hurt in a scrimmage at goal and had to retire leaving ten men on the field to complete the match. One goal was scored by the Queen’s Park during the first half by Kay, who had the ball passed to him by Fraser and Anderson, and in the second the Rangers lines were forced other four times, once by Smith and Kay and twice by Ker. The Rangers fell off very much towards the close of the game, the four goals being scored in less than half-an-hour, and the last two by Ker were taken in such a way that no goalkeeper could have saved them. The play was pretty rough at times, rougher than in any of the previous matches between the contending clubs, and Ker towards the close got a severe charge on the chest. For the Queen’s Park who had several new men in their team, the forward play was remarkably good, Ker’s ‘shooters’ at goal some of which were stopped by Gillespie in manner that called forth loud cheers from all parts of the field being grand. If McNeil looked like renewing his early fame by his smart dribbling and judicious passing and Anderson who played for the first time in a first eleven match showed plenty of pluck and tackling power. Smith seemed in rare fettle, and made several fine runs, while Kay worked capitally in front of goal. Watson showed that he was worthy of a trying position by his coolness; and J Holm possessing speed and great tackling power, far surpassed expectations. On the Rangers side the forwards acted very indifferently together, five however having to do the work of six. Somehow or other they could not keep the ball when they got it and now and again good chances were entirely lost. Sometimes M McNeil and Struthers would come out in front dribbling the ball away, but they were always checkmated by the Queen’s Park half backs or backs, and could never get within scoring distance. In the back department however Drinnan worked like a demon and A Vallance was very steady but the best man in the eleven was undoubtedly the goalkeeper who showed during the last half hour of the contest the he knew how to defend a besieged goal
