The Thistle Archive

At Firhill Park last evening fairly strong elevens representing these clubs met in a benefit match for Archibald McKenzie who has been with Partick Thistle for the last 5 seasons. There was a fair attendance. Play was of an even character until Lawrie, from a pass by Thompson, opened the scoring for Partick after less than 10 minutes play. Rangers replied with a clever combined forward raid, and Parker, securing possession in front of goal, gave the Partick custodian no chance with the equaliser. At half-time the score was one each. The second half was played at a much faster pace, and Rangers did most of the aggressive work. Their efforts were soon rewarded, Yuille giving them the lead with a swift left-foot drive. In the closing stages Rangers strove to increase their lead, and forced two corners in immediate succession. Both, however, were cleared.
