Match Trivia
As to which club would win at Ibrox there was little dubiety of opinion, but with the Rangers a little under full strength, and the Barrowfield team overhauled, it was not expected that a repetition of the wholesale slaughter of a week ago would take place. The superiority of the Cup holders over the Clyde’s present eleven was however quite as pronounced as before, and a most one-sided game ended in a 7-0 victory for the ‘Light Blues’. N Smith and Mitchell were absent from the home team, the former through injury, and the latter through an attack of cold. Neil was resting. Crawford, Oswald and Glen proved most capable substitutes. McPherson made reappearance at inside right to Miller on the outside, and played one of his best games. He at times had the spectators roaring at the cute manner in which he out-manoeuvred his opponents, and from the general all-round excellence of his lay, we should fancy there is strong likelihood of his forming one of the forward quintette for the big game at Parkhead. All the Rangers forwards were in the best of form, Miller perhaps being a little behind the other four, who were brilliant. The Clyde defence seemed for the greater part of the game to be totally unable to stop the Rangers except by taking the heels from them, which style of tackling we regret to say they adopted rather often. Gardner, who was a special sinner in this respect, was ordered off the field a few minutes from the close. The goals calls for little description. It was evident from the start that Wilkie, the Clyde custodian would have a close view and take an active part in the big portion of the play, and a general idea of the run of things may be gathered when we say that, although the got past him seven times, Wilkie played a splendid game, and brought off quite a number of magnificent saves. McPherson had the first point a few minutes from the start. A Little later Hyslop put on No 2 followed almost immediately by a third from Hamilton foot. Before half-time Miller scored the fourth goal cleverly. The Clyde reappeared a little before the Rangers and made a start as if they indented to put a healthier complexion on matters, Scott on the left distinguishing himself by a good run. This spurt however was short lived, and the Rangers by a beautiful piece of headwork returned to the vicinity of Wilkie. Immediately after Smith scored with the best shot of the day, and Hyslop after missing by a foot, put No 6 to his credit. The seventh came from a penalty for Hamilton being tripped within the twelve-yard line. Hyslop sent the ball not only through the goal, but through the net. Oswald at back played a splendid game in his own cool, clean style. The Rangers are fortunate in having such a man to fall back on. Drummond made a few miskicks, but he could afford to be frisky, and the opportunities thus afforded the Clyde of getting within measurable distance of Dickie were sorely needed. Gibson played so consistently at half that a fine display from him is now taken as a matter of course. Suffice it to say that he was himself. Oswald’s fielding of the ball was worthy of the man who was at his best the idea pivot of a forward line. Glen at left half was on his best behaviour, and took part with Hyslop and Smith in some bewildering piece of combined play. The Clyde were completely outclassed from start to finish. They played hard to the end, and made many a desperate effort to get a say in the game, but the Cup holders held them as in a grip of iron. Raisbeck in the centre and Scott on the left are worthy of special mention for their effort to raise the siege.
