notes

Cowlairs “scored” just on h-t, but the game was stopped for 20 minutes until they agreed to discount the goal, which was disputed by Thistle. However, press reports are conflicting, some (SC/DA/GH saying 2-1 to Cowlairs and others (GEP/DC/SL) saying it was 1-1. Almost certainly, the key difference is the interpretation of the disputed goal outcome. PRG sat on the fence saying it was a “doubtful result”. We stick with 1-1 as per the OH.
