notes

This match was actually played on neutral territory. Having won a game each, it was billed as a “Championship of Govan and Partick decider” and the neutral venue was kindly donated by Partick FC. “The Partick, with that generosity which has always been one of their characteristics, gave their field”. (AN). Whilst the DA says 3-1 and the DC says 5-1, we stick with 4-1 as per the OH, AN and PRG.
