Match Trivia
While the Third did not manage to divide the points, the attack touched a standard of efficiency never approached this season. Besides showing method in the outfield, the forwards, even in the fog, managed to locate the Rangers goal and by scoring three accomplished a feat which has not been achieved by a Cathkin eleven since early September. Despite the frost bound ground, the game was brimful of exciting passages, and the climax was reached in the second half. Kyle got the only goal of the first portion, and the Rangers spread dismay in the home camp by getting a couple of goals off Speirs and Kyle ere the Third realised the game was restarted. Then the Third applied the screw, and Gaols quickly came the way of McFie and Richardson. Another kaleidoscope turn and Hamilton and Kyle increased the Ibrox lead, and in the gathering darkness McFie got a third for Cathkin five minutes from time. By reason of their deadlier shooting and the brilliance of Kyle, the Rangers were slightly the better eleven. The little left-winger was ubiquitous, and his moving on the slippery surface was a revelation. Hamilton did the little he got to do well, and the attack was less ‘wingy’ than usual. Kyle played better to Speirs than to the centre-forward in recent matches. Dickie got across some excellent centres, while Livingstone, but for his neglect of the centre, also performed creditably. Speirs did fairly well as pivot, a remark, which also applies to Richardson in the corresponding position on the opposing side. Griffiths, who plays as an amateur gave a very clever display against Jackson. McFie was to the Third what Kyle was to the Rangers. Tarbet improved on recent displays, and unselfishly fed Clarkson a tall youth from the Maryhill Victoria. While he lasted the youngster showed ability to entitle him to a further trial. Of the halves, Ferguson, Cross, Galt and May were best. There was little to choose between the four backs, and none of them were brilliant
