Match Trivia
The score in this match speaks for itself. From start to finish the Clyde were outclassed and rarely has a more one-sided League match been played at Ibrox Park. The feature of the play was the apparent indifference manifested by the Clyde as goal after goal was notched. They certainly took their defeat in the most sportsman like manner imaginable and severe as the drubbing was they never condescended – as is only too often the case – to endeavour to do by foul means what they could not do by fair. Thoroughly beaten as they were, their clean and gentlemanly play gained for them the sympathy of even the warmest follower of the ‘Light Blues’. On one occasion it is true Miller was tripped within the 12 yards line, and a penalty kick was given, but the offence was by no means a very heinous one. The Rangers scored four goals in each half the goal-takers being Miller (3), Gibson (2) and A Smith, and Sharp, while one if the Clyde players had the misfortune to beat his own goalkeeper. Hamilton strange to say failed to score and it must be admitted that his play near goal was disappointing weak. He balanced his wings in very fine style, however and always required a deal of attention. A Smith was also weak at goal, and Campbell cleverly as he shot on several occasion, was unable to finish successfully. Miller was perhaps the hero of the game, his shooting being of the lordliest kind. Sharp who partnered Campbell passed with rare accuracy and finished strongly, and was in every respect worthy of his place in the team. The Clyde forwards never really got going, and of the five Campbell and Crawford were the only players that seriously threatened danger. The Rangers half-back trio easily accounted for all that came their way. Gibson took the eye mostly and the two goals he scored were regular gems. N Smith and Crawford along with Dickie maintained an invulnerable defence, the last mentioned player having a very easy time. Donnelly had a heavy afternoon’s work to get through, and considering the rather poor support he got from his backs he did in it with a very fair amount of success. Nash was the best of the Clyde half-back’s, but the three made very little impression on the Rangers forwards.
Played at Ibrox Park before about 4000 spectators. The opening was rather surprising to the Clyde, who were scarcely settled down to play when Miller, from a pass by Hamilton opened the scoring. The Clyde left pair got well away, but near the goal they were held in check by Smith and Mitchell, a couple of corners bringing them no benefit. Rangers had the better of the exchanges all through the first half with the wing behind them, adding other three goals, Sharp, Miller and A Smith being responsible. At halftime the Rangers led by 4 goals to 0. The second half was not long in play when Miller scored for the Rangers, and the Clyde task of making a good show disappeared. They were seldom across the midfield, but once they particularly hard lines. The Rangers forwards ably supported by the half’s, played a brilliant combined game, and the defence offer to them was easily set a sided, with the result that other three goals were added, a one-sided gamed ending in favour of the home side. Rangers 8 goals; Clyde 0
