Match Trivia
This match came off at Kinning Park in presence of a large gathering of spectators, and ended in favour of the Rangers by three goals to none. Soon after the start it became quite apparent that the Rangers were going to have it pretty much their own way as the strangers backs were quite unable to stand the brilliant rushes of the Scotch forwards, and getting well in on the posts the Rangers second a couple of their goals against the wind. The home team kicked off against the breeze, and kept the ball well down on the English goal for some time, and gave the goalkeeper trouble before the assault was repelled. The Rangers continued to press down on the stranger’s goal, and gave Bayne anxious moments of it. The Englishmen however after some good passing successes in coming down on their opponents goal, but McCartney getting the ball ran it beautifully into the strangers territory, and there sent it to Lindsay who succeeded in passing it between the post amid loud cheering. Englishmen then made an effort to regain lost ground and caused the Rangers some trouble, but Chalmers saved his charge in a way, which elicited cheers from the spectators. The home forwards again gained possession of the ball, and brought it to midfield, and Lindsay passed it to Lawrie, and the latter sent it between the uprights – thus making two goals for the Rangers. After this the game was more equal, and chiefly carried on in the centre of the field, the Lincoln men showing themselves to be fairly up in the science of the game. After some time the Rangers forwards pressed down on the stranger’s goal, but Bayne averted the danger, though he was closely pressed by Lawrie and Mackie. There was no more scoring in the first half, which resulted in the Rangers making two goals and their opponenets nothing. In the second half the Englishmen kept up a defensive game and although they worked hard enough, and some individual members did yeoman service, Mattam and Fox being conspicuous in this respect, they failed to improve their opportunities. The play was mostly carried on in the strangers territory, and their goal endangered so closely on one or two occasions that Bayne had to throw behind and gave their opponents the benefit of a corner kick. Some give and take play having gone on for a quarter of an hour the Rangers then got a throw in from the corner and the ball being lifted by Lindsay, he smartly shot it between the posts and made a third goal. The Englishmen then made several determined efforts to clear their lines, but without success. At the finish the Rangers made great efforts to add another gaol to their score, but without success, and when time was called the game ended in favour of the Rangers by three goals to nothing. The Rangers who were in fine form, will now be included in the sixth round of the English Cup, are still quite a match for several of the clubs standing in that competition.
