Match Trivia
Twice within ten days Dundee have been in Glasgow on League business and in three successive matches they have divided points with their opponents – Celtic, Airdrieonians and Rangers. One of the most delightful exhibitions of football seen on the Rangers ground this season was the outcome Tayside combination’s visit to Ibrox Park yesterday. Despite the huge exodus of holiday-markers from the city 12,000 spectators enjoyed a finely contested game. Play was fast and open throughout, and there was nothing in the game to take exception to, so keen were the players to devote their whole energies to the game. It was football pure and simple, and a skilful display from beginning to end. In the first half the Rangers had a slight pull over their opponents and seemed the fresher lot, as well they might, with so many first-class reserves at their command. In the first minute RG Campbell scored from a ‘penalty’ and just on the interval the same player got a second goal from Dickie’s pass. As the game progressed Dundee improved and were more deadly at goal and much freer in their outfield play than usual. Like the Rangers, Dundee owed their goals to the marksmanship of the centre forward – Cox having both goals very cleverly, the first appearing to be assisted past Newbigging by Jackson, and the second off a grand shot after good work by Fraser and McFarlane. Forward the Rangers were well served by the whole five. Campbell led his men excellently, and for all-round play he is the best centre the club have had all season. In addition to his two goals, he had a couple of grand drives at the finish, one of which Muir saved as brilliantly. Livingstone was always prominent, and his clever young partner. Dickie made the most of his passes. Kyle and Smith were a perfect combination. Galt and Stark impressed most at half. May, while good on the ball taking too much out of himself. The backs were well mated, Hendry’s dash being counter-balanced by Jackson’s better judgment. Newbigging was not so often tested as Muir, whose goalkeeping was faultless. Both backs did well, with Jeffray a shade the stronger, but there was nothing to avail at in the display of McKenzie, who had the trickiest wing to face. Dainty was again the best of a strong half-back trio, and forward the five revelled in artistic touches. Cox kept the game very open, and his dash at goal was pronounced in the second half. All over it was Dundee’s best forward game in the West this season, the combination being more open than usual
