notes

OH gives Thistle's goal to Andy Swan, and this is backed up by the DR (“the only goal was got by Sawn, the ball being diverted off the head of McPherson”). However, we go with the FH/GH/SC, all of whom list W. Gray (Bill Gray).

Match Report

TTA report

Thistle defended for the 1st 15 minutes then they scored with their 1st shot at goal deflected off a defender through Gray (Bill). 2nd bottom Falkirk equalised (52) with a pen for hand ball. It was all Falkirk. Their keeper didn't touch the ball for 20 minutes and they had 2 goals disallowed. A fortunate point.
