	Thistle per OH, opposition as yet unsourced. Individual appearances are appointed from contemporary press reports, with the positions usually being an educated guess. We've seen no contemporary line-ups reported as yet, but note that the SR (in a brief comment) mentions that Thistle were at full strength except for R. Gray and Paul. We've taken no action to remove Gray as things stand but will bear it in mind for any future developments.
	On the eve of the game, the SR reported that a selected team from Neilston, Thornliebank & Arthurlie would meet the Partick Thistle players at Barrhead for the benefit of the Arthurlie club. It was said that Thistle were giving their services free out of respect for James Auchincloss, their right back.
