notes

For now, we keep the Thistle team together as per the OH, but note that some doubt exists over the appearance of Milliken. The GEP report says that PT were without backs Hendry and Caldwell and that Munro and McLachlan took their places. GH says PT were only without Hendry but that McLachlan was a good substitute.

Match Report

TTA report

Renton (Cup winners 1884-85 and runners up 1885-86) were too good for Thistle in this match. In driving rain and a sodden pitch, 2 goals (5 and 15) put them 2-down at half-time. They made no impression in the second half and were soon 3-down after a few minutes. Thistle lost a man to injury for the last half-hour.
