notes

Killie's first in 40 minutes is described as a Gilchrist o.g. in the GH match report. Confusingly the GH sequentially list the Killie scorers as Boyd; Barton; Armour; Templeton (2 of these do not concur with the written account). JL concurs with this GH summary list. We stick with the account in the written match report. The SC credits Templeton with Kilmarnock's 4th; we stick with Boyd as per GH (written account) and JL.

Match Report

TTA report

Homeless. An even first half saw a Gilchrist OG (40) give Kilmarnock a half-time lead. 2 more goals (46 and 47) rocked Thistle and a 4th put the result beyond doubt. Killie had 12 corners in the match. Robertson scored a consolation goal late on. Thistle started the season bottom and faced having to play every game “away”.
