notes

We've presumed the GH's (otherwise unheard-of) McLaren to be (Walter) McLean in line with our team sheets of the period. The OH lists neither, opting for Robert McLucas (a repeat of a similar instance 2 weeks earlier on 27.11.1886).

Match Report

TTA report

The match kicked off 30 minutes late and was shortened. Thistle played with 2 half backs and 6 forwards. There were chances at both ends but defences were on top. Rangers pressed early in the second half but Thistle came more into it and probably shaded things until the end. Fog descended near the end.
