notes

Listed as a 1-0 win by OH, but the SC report notes 1-1 HT and 3-2 FT which seems rather precise and this scoreline is backed up by the AEE, the DC and the SR, so there seems no doubt about it.

Match Report

TTA report

“The weather was dull and wet, the ground soft and treacherous. Play was of a determined but mixed kind and sometimes rough“ (SC). It was 1-1 at half-time but Thistle edged out their SW Glasgow opponents. One Thistle goal was an og, Hibs maintaining it was not a goal and that “a draw was the correct result“ (SR).
