notes

Gillespie (QP) and Lang (3rd L.R.V.) guested for St Bernard's. For St Bernard's, SC/EC/GEP say McEwan not McGerran, so we go with the majority. No.7 is described as McMinn (SC/GEP), McMunn (EC) and McMain (GH). We go with the guess of McMinn. Play was restricted to 30 minutes per half and the goal times reflect this. The OH records a 4-1 win for Thistle, whilst a brief sentence in the TI says it was 5-0 to Thistle. Detailed reports in the GH/SC/GEP make the scoreline clear; 4-0 to Thistle.

Match Report

TTA report

On an ice-covered pitch there were chances at both ends and falls galore. Thistle had the bulk of the play and scored four second half goals without reply through Buchanan, Galt and Johnston (2). “The Partick Thistle were in form…and did not experience much difficulty in overthrowing St Bernard's“ (GH).
