notes

GEP concurs with OH, but lists the forwards in a different order. The paper lists our expected “Robertson” as “Robson” in both the teamline and report, and we've presumed this to be an aural error, as often was the case in the 19th century reports.

match data help required

We're always looking to improve our match data in terms of filling in missing timings, profile pictures, identifying unknown forenames, missing linesmen etc. We require specific help in this match: What was the (afternoon) kick-off time? Who was the referee? What was the attendance? Please do get in touch → if you can assist in any way!

Match Report

TTA report

“The latter (Thistle) were feebly represented which perhaps accounts for the result” (AN). There was nothing much between the teams but Clyde went ahead (10) but “a fine header” (GEP) by Robertson. Clyde went down to 10 men after half-time but Thistle only managed a few chances and had to settle for a draw.
