notes

The SR report specifically mentions that Thistle introduced new right-back Burton “from the South of England”. HA reports the third as Fred Robertson's, but no match report is shown. Alec Raisbeck is quoted in the SC. Raisbeck has taken the previous 2 penalties in this season so we tip the balance with him.

Match Report

TTA report

Thistle soaked up early pressure then scored with their 1st attack through Branscombe. Play was even until Lowry scored the 2nd before half-time. Raisbeck scored with a soft penalty in the second half (hand ball). Even playing into the wind Second Division league leaders Rovers were the better team but couldn't score. 3-0 was flattering.
