Match Trivia
This match was played on Ibrox Park before 4500 spectators. The Rangers kicked off against the wind and soon became very aggressive. After a good try by Speedie to score, he again had the ball nicely placed to him by Smith and this time beat Rae. The Saints played very erratically for a time, but gradually becoming somewhat more methodical near goal, Reid who ran across to the right beat Watson. Shortly after he again the Rangers custodian, who might have saved. After some good play on both sides the interval arrived with the score unaltered. Halftime – St Mirren 2 goal: Rangers 1 goal. On resuming the Rangers bombarded Rae’s goal, but he saved magnificently at least half a dozen times in the first five minutes. Notwithstanding great efforts by the Rangers to equalise they failed to get the better of the visitors defence. The Saints occasionally made very dangerous raids on Watson’s goal, but the Ranger saved all that came his way. Near the end the home team deserved to equalise, and were decidedly unlucky in not doing so. The Saints had a lucky win. Result – Saint Mirren 2 goals: Rangers 1 goal. Drawings £128
