notes

The GH credits David Hislop with Thistle's opener, and names no other scorers; we presume that the OH follows that account as they too list Hislop (1) and no other. We side with the EC since they're providing both of our teamlines and name two of the scorers, namely Willie Paul for the first (from a Hislop cross) and the third. The second scorer is unidentified anywhere.

Match Report

TTA report

“… not a very impressive specimen, though the defence division of each team played remarkably well“ (SC). Paul got the opener from a Hislop cross (15) and the 3rd. 2nd goal uncredited. The half-time whistle robbed Thistle of a 4th. Hibs scored on the hour. A one-sided game spoiled by the wind.
