notes

Replay of the abandoned game from the preceding Saturday. JL has R. Gray as the scorer of Thistle's second (by process of elimination). OH gives Thistle goal to a hybrid of William Gray/Robert Gray! The OH gives the No.11 appearance to William Gray but states that Robert Gray scored. Very frustrating. The newspaper reports don't clarify per ce, but they do talk about Gray in context as the left wing. Since Robert is most commonly found in the inside or outside left position we therefore give the nod to him.

Match Report

TTA report

Massie opened the scoring for Thistle with a run and high shot that should have been saved but it was 1-1 at half-time. A miskick by Campbell let Airdrie in for 2-1 but Gray (most probably “R”) equalised with a low shot the Airdrie keeper fumbled over the line. “The game was one of the roughest seen in Airdrie this season” (GH).
