Match Trivia

The Vale of Leven and Rangers met under the illuminating rays of the ‘Well’s Light’ at the Exhibition on Tuesday evening. The result can hardly be satisfactory to the ‘light blues’, who were as much ‘in the dark’ at the finish as 8 goals to love. The Vale players – who were assisted by Caldow of Cambuslang – were fairly on the dot, and rattled away as if artificial light was their native element. The Rangers in the open did well enough; when attacking or defending goal they were simply not in it. The Vale’s formed tactics was simply splendid, and if they could maintain the same perfection of combination and successful concentration of aim in daylight as they did in ‘Well’s light’, why then the Dumbartonshire cu need not necessarily leave Alexandria. The Rangers played the second string goalkeeper, but we will not be so rash as to seriously criticise him till we see more of him.
