Match Trivia

At Recreation Grounds, Perth, estimated attendance 7000, drawings (gate and stand) £137. St Johnstone played a wonderfully hard game in the first half and quite held their own with the formidable opponents. Rangers were the clever side but the dash of the home team was such that the first half ended with colours even. In the second half Rangers developed a strong attack, and Stark and Bennett scored in quick succession. St Johnstone tired toward the finish and Campbell beating both backs added a third goal
