Match Trivia
This tie in the English Association Cup took place at Kinning Park in presence of a large gathering of spectators, and after a capital match ended in favour of the Rangers by three goals to two. For some time after the kick off the Cowlairs men had fully the best of it, and made it hot for the Rangers backs, but were wild in their middling when near goal, and lost several good chances. The Rangers however warmed up considerably as the game advanced, and were able before ends changed to score a couple of goals by Fraser and Peacock, while the visitors still remained pointless. In the second round it looked as if the Rangers would again score in a minute or two, but the danger was for the time averted by McLachlan clearing his lines in fine style after a brilliant run by Fraser and Peacock, and the ball was transferred to the Rangers end where it was scrimmaged over the goal line. A corner-flag kick was the result, but the Cowlairs goalkeeper saved nicely. In turn the strangers forwards led by Clelland and Douglas, made a fast run up the field, and the later finished by making a flying shot at the Rangers goal. The ball, which was well judged, glided through, and the teams again faced u in the centre with the Rangers two goal, and their opponents one. Not long after the next kick-off some remarkably neat kicking was done by the opposing backs, but the Rangers once more prevailed, and after a nice run by the whole of the forward enabled MacKenzie and Lawrie to get away with a rush, and the latter having a successful cleared himself of the Cowlairs backs made a fine shot, which put the Rangers side in possession of another goal. For the next ten minutes or so the play was very even and indeed remained so till near the close when the Cowlairs men mustered u new courage, and after making a determined attack on the home goal, at length forced the ball through a couple of minutes before time was called McLuggage being last on it ere it passed between the posts. The match thus ended in favour of the Rangers who certainly deserved their victory from the improved form shown by three goals to two.
