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.
