notes

GH lists two undistinguished McPhersons for Cowlairs and one of them a scorer. The EC confirms that James was the half-back and John the forward, and we presume him to have scored. The EC once again spells our John Daisley as Daisley. The GH credits McPherson with Cowlairs second and fourth goals, without differntiating between the two McPherson's in their line-up. We've presumed the scorer to be John, the forward player. Further, the EC credits Fleming with the fourth, but we stick with the GH account on the grounds that they're providing our teamlines.

Match Report

TTA report

A bad day at the office in Springburn. After Cowlairs got their opener Thistle were seldom out of their own half in any attacking sense and Cowlairs even had a goal disallowed. Their 5th was “a shot that no goalkeeper could save” (GH).
