notes

We've presumed the GH's (unrecognised) Daisley to be a typo for (J.) Paisley, whilst noting that the EC also carries the presumed GH typo. There is 50-50 call for Thistle's third goal; where the SC says it was Matthew Ferguson, the SR credits Andrew Johnston. The GH fails to name a scorer, whilst the OH only credits 2 of the 3 scorers (Johnston and Freebairn). We stick with Ferguson as per SC in the meantime, but will keep an eye out for further clarification.
