The Thistle Archive

At Firhill. This game, arranged for the benefit of Arran War Memorial Fund, ended in a draw (3-3). Unfortunately for the object in view, barely a thousand spectators were present. Thistle got on the move early, McLean registering the first goal a few minutes after the kick-off. A quiet first half ended in favour of Clydebank, Grant completing the hat trick, all three goals being well taken. The second half saw a transformation, a fast game being maintained throughout. After twenty minutes of the period had gone, J. McFarlane beat Robertson with a good drive. The closing stages were fought out keenly. J. Gibson drew the score level just on time, the old Ashfield boy scoring from a scrimmage. Best for Thistle were Bernard, the brothers Gibson, Crossar and McLean, while Clydebank were well served by McIntosh and Grant.
