Match Trivia
If this had been a vital game, it would have provided sensation. Think of it. Rangers were one down before the interval. They had hit the post and the crossbar three times. They struggled to get out-with the tentacles of the Queens defence in the second half. They failed. Smith tried to get young Whites nerve in the second half. He succeeded to the extent od securing a free against the keeper for carrying. But George Brown drove for goal. I wonder why? Did he think that he could score direct? Surely not. Possibly he thought that he could get the ball to strike White, and that the ball would bounce into the net. The ball went over. The dramatic touch was provided exactly two-fifths of a second after the final whistle blew. A beautiful pass travelled to Dodds, who had positioned himself well clear of Simpson. The Queens centre travelled on, collected prodded the ball ahead, and then, just as the whistle went for time, shot a glorious goal that was no goal! Had the movement been before the end what an uproar there would have been even from the two or three thousand who were at Ibrox. I dont think I need say too much about this last First Division League game of the season. Rangers apparently though that they had an easy task against the Amateurs. And the Amateurs conveyed the impression that they didnt much worry. But when that first goal went on both sides stuck into the work, and it was a case mostly of spoiling. Souter was the man who made the goal possible. He was in an outside-left position when he bewildered Dawson with a tricky cross. Dawson foozled. McDonald was glad to concede a corner. Soutar ran to his own position outside right, to take the kick. Head-high to Martin, who headed home. The stars of Queens were Lyon, Soutar, Martin and Wright. On the Rangers side I give a glad hand to Gray, McDonald, Simpson, Brown and Roberts
