Match Trivia
went out of the Pittodrie attack, and their moves began to gang agley. It can be said that every man in the game put all he had into it. Both goalkeepers acquitted themselves nobly, Steve Smith giving the best display for many a day. Gray was the most polished member of the backs division; and none of the half-backs took the eye like Falloon. The little giant watched Smith like a hawk, and his clean-cut clearances flung back many an Ibrox advance. Venters was Rangers star forward, always in the tick of it, tenacious, tricky and strong. Mills was most brilliant in the first half but faded later. Over the pierce Armstrong was the most dangerous of the raiding Dons. In few games has the timber played a more important part. In the second minute of the game, McKenzie hit the post with Dawson at full stretch. Just before half-time McPhail met a Turnbull cross and smashed in a terrific header that struck the underside of the crossbar and rebounded into play. Then, shortly after the restart, Warnock picked up a pass from Armstrong and let go a ripper that smacked off the upright, with Dawson well out of reach. At the other end, Venters wormed his way through and hit the post with a drive that Smith hardly saw. Maybe one ought to expect near things in Aberdeen! Meiklejohn missed an 85th minute penalty
