Match Trivia
The Rangers kicked off, their forwards at once made for Kay, but McPherson shot wide, and on his second try the ball went over the bar. A corner for the Rangers followed, but the ball went behind. Then McPherson sent in a shot and scored the first goal for the visitors. The Athletic kept up the pressure, but A Smith ultimately relieved. Some clever passing between Smith, McPherson and Gray transferred play to the other end, but Fraser saved with his head. After a smart run by Boys and Gillespie there was a corner off Drummond but the ball was placed behind. A minute later Boyd had a header from a corner, which struck the crossbar. Twice in succession the Rangers got free kicks for offside infringements, from the second of which McPherson and Smith went away with a run, and Smith equalised.
