notes

We suspect that the GH's McWilliam (Patrick McWilliams) is one and the same as the “Williams” who has been listed on a few occasions this season in inverted commas. He signed for Clyde two weeks after this game.

Thistle largely dominated the first half although Clyde “fairly bombarded the home goal“ approaching half-time but McDougall gave Thistle the lead. The second half was keenly contested but Thistle had the better forward play and they scored twice more through McNicoll and Freebairn.
