Match Trivia
A single goal draw – a very common result in this class of match – was the outcome of the respective champions of the English and Scottish League at Ibrox last night. The occasion was of course Arthur Dixon’s benefit. Rangers got the first, from Carl Hansen. The little Dane completely deceived Elisha Scott by a swerving ball, half-an-hour after the start after the start. But the ball which Harry Chambers delivered when the second half was fifteen minutes old, was quite as deceptive. As Hamilton, who understudied Willie Robb, went for it, it curled right from his outstretched arms, hit a post in the inside high up, and found the net. There were many bright incidents. Once Alec Archibald pirouetted so nicely that one wonders how David Pratt, once of Celtic, did not collapse, thinking he had met a Cinquevalli or someone of that calibre. This was only one of the many manoeuvres and delicacies of the evening. In the first half, before Hansen got his goal, Forshaw missed, and only narrowly when he might have put his side on the lead. Elisha Scott showed the great goalkeeping powers he possesses when he threw himself to one of Hansen’s, picked up a trimmer from Andy Cunningham, and anticipated one of Alan Morton’s centres. There was more energy expended after Liverpool had equalised – there were cigarette cases at stake. Rangers forced the ball into the net in the closing stages, when it was too dark to see just exactly what happened. George Livingstone, the Rangers’ trainer, referee for the night, who had been a passive resister, decided than an infringement had taken place, and now twenty-two cases have to be presented
