notes

MT gives first Thistle goal to John Proudfoot and names no other scorers. OH/JL say Paul (2) and Campbell and we stick with them. JL credits Ferguson with one of Motherwell's goals (presumably Robert) but he isn't listed in the MT line-up. We can find no source for Ferguson as scorer, although we note that the SR places him in the line-up at the expense of John Paterson, who is a quoted scorer in the MT. We stick with Paterson as scorer per the local source of our teamlines.
