SP's report says “Bowie shot hard across goal and the ball more or less hit Leitch and went in” and MT backs this up. However, we stick with Lawson Humphreys as scorer as per the long list of OH/JL/DR/SC/HAD.

Match Report

TTA report

Thistle had 2 new players on show but it was poor fare in the first half. Neither team could finish. Humphreys (or Leitch?) touched home a driven cross by Bowie but following a mistake by Bulloch, Ferguson dropped a cross and it was 1-1. A fair result. “Neither team possessed the will or the ability to conquer“ (GH).
