Match Report

TTA report

Benefit match for Archie McKenzie. There was nothing between the teams and Thistle took the lead (10) through Lowry. Clever forward play led to Rangers' equaliser before half-time. The second half saw both teams show more urgency (especially Rangers) and they got their winner with a left foot drive.

Media report

30-Aug-1910, Glasgow Herald

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.
