Match Report

TTA report

A succession of Rangers corners came to nothing and the Thistle defence was sound. Rangers scored (55) but Johnston equalised soon after. Thistle scored a 2nd (75) from a scramble at a corner and then again through Johnston for 3-1 before Rangers scored in the last minute through ex-JAG Hislop.

Media report

27-Oct-1890, Glasgow Herald

Played at Ibrox Park, Govan, before 2,000 spectators. Both teams were up to their full strength. Losing the toss, the Rangers kicked off against the wind. The Thistle were first to press but Gow relieved and transferred play to the other end. The Rangers did all the pressing for the next 15 minutes. Four corner in succession fell to them, but they made nothing of them, owing to the grand defence of the Thistle. The game now opened up a bit. Run and counter-run was the order of the day, but neither team could find an opening and half-time sounded with the result a draw – no goals. The second half was ten minutes gone when Kerr cleverly notched the first goal for the Rangers. Immediately after the Thistle had a combined rush from which Johnstone equalised. For some time after the game was evenly and hotly contested. Fifteen minutes before the close the Thistle scored a second goal from a corner kick. Johnstone added a third point for the Thistle. Pulling themselves together, the Rangers put in a combined effort, and obtained a corner from which Hislop scored a second point for the light blues. Time sounded immediately after. Result – Partick Thistle, 3 goals; Rangers 2 goals.
