Match Trivia

and the Rangers at once fixed on the ball, and made Connell. For about ten minutes the Rangers hung about the stranger’s goal, but could not score. Then the Port broke away, and a long passing run was finished by Harry Hunter sending the ball clean past McCulloch. The Rangers immediately resumed the pressure, but a quarter of an hour elapsed ere they were able to equalise, Sutherland sending the ball through. A minute later, Graham after a clever piece of tackling, in which he twice worsted Donald Gow, lifted the ball slowly over McCulloch’s hand, which the other forwards prevented his knocking out. Keeping at it, Grieve put on a third point out of a scrimmage; while Kane was soon after called upon to head out a shot. The Port Glasgow were on their to the Rangers goal, when the whistle blew; the result at halftime being – Port Glasgow Athletic 3 goals, Rangers 1. The game was 20 minutes in progress in the second half ere any score was affected. At the end of that time the home goal was hotly besieged, and McCulloch, in striking out the ball, knocked it against Grieve, off whom it rebounded between the posts, and the score stood at 4 to 1. After this A Peacock sent Connell to grass, while the ball rolled slowly through. The game ended – Port Glasgow Athletic 5 goals, Rangers 2
