	Teamlines per WLC, and cross referenced via JL. The OH has a considerably different line-up. Due to the unusual nature of this tie, i.e. reserves fulfilling a first team engagement, there are seven players who feature in the first team A to Z story for the one and only time c/o this game.
	The WLC reports that Thistle 'ceded home advantage due to Firhill being used for a Glasgow Juniors v Newcastle match.
	An excellent in depth report in the WLC gives this goal to James Smith whilst OH credits Frank Branscombe. Since we have taken our teamline from the WLC (which cross-references with the appearances listed by JL) it seems like the right thing to do to go with their goalscorer too and we therefore side with James Smith for this goal.
