The Thistle Archive

Played at Ibrox Park, Govan, before 1,000 spectators. The Thistle were without McCorkindale, their smart custodian, who is said to have thrown in his lot with the Clyde. Burns [note: History Book / Glasgow Herald say “Burness“], the substitute was early called upon, but he cleared in good style. The game then opened up, and before the interval the Rangers scored out of a scrimmage, while Woods put on a point for the Partick men. On resuming, the Rangers were early dangerous, but Proudfoot, who throughout played a grand game, relieved. The Rangers afterwards gained a second point out of a scrimmage, Kerr showing it to great advantage. The home team were having the best of it, and tried the Thistle defence sorely. Latterly, Henderson notched a third point for the Rangers. Result:- Rangers, three goals; Partick Thistle, one goal.
