notes

OH gives the first goal to Davie Ness. GH/DR/SC seem clear that it was an og; SC: “Gibson, in attempting to clear a cross from Ness, put the ball past his own goalkeeper into the net.” We go with the o.g. per that report.

Match Report

TTA report

An exciting 8-goal thriller. A Ness shot was turned in as an OG to give Thistle the lead (3) but Clyde hit the bar twice before they equalised and were 2-1 ahead by half-time. Grove equalised (47) then Lambie put Thistle ahead from 20 yards. Clyde equalised then Chatton scored for 4-3 but Clyde earned the point (88). Fair.
