Match Trivia
When it became known that Campbell, Gordon, Logan, Hendry, Hogg, Reid, Bennett and Smith were unable to take the field at Ibrox on Saturday, there was some cause of anxiety, seeing that the Hibs were almost at full strength, Rae alone being absent. After Saturday’s experience, however, Rangers have nothing to fear with such brilliant players to fall back on. The form shown by the young forwards much have been a revelation to the Hibs, who had come west with the avowed intention of demonstrating the superiority of East over West. The Hibs, however, got a rude awakening, for seven minutes had but elapsed when goals had been registered by Parker and Paterson. Hibs made a remarkable recovery. Riddell missed a forward pass, and Ormonde being unprepared allowed Anderson to drive the ball into the net. Hibs were now in their element, and Hendren had the satisfaction of seeing a long shot from his foor going past Hempsey. Rangers’ defenders were indeed in a plight, when Hendren again dashed in and gave his side the lead. Paterson, on the right, was delighting everybody by his magnificent command over the ball; everything he attempted was done with a neatness and skilful celerity that demonstrated in no uncertain fashion the fact that this young player has few equals in Scottish football. It was he who furnished Parker with the ball to score the equalising goal. Just on time a free-kick was sent across the goal, and Parker put Rangers ahead with a neat header. The second half did not reveal the sensational incidents witnessed earlier in the game. It is highly probable that many months will elapse ere anything like the same inspiring football may be witnessed. Only in comparison with the first half can the play of the second half be considered tame. The game was still keenly contested, and the Rangers’ goal had some marvellous escapes. There was no further scoring till the closing stages, when Girdwood and Grosert moved across to check the advantage of the Rangers’ right wing, leaving A Brown unmarked, consequently when the ball came across to the left, the Ranger had a chance which he promptly accepted
