notes
  • Willie Miller of Hibs (the son of a Firhill director) was sitting with his mother in the stand, bedecked in green!
  • The OH credits Sandy Hair with Thistle's second goal and this is backed up by the DR, but the consensus lies with Davie Ness. SP describes that Ness's oblique shot struck the foot of the upright and flashed into the net, assisted by a belated touch from Hair's toe. "It was Ness's goal" states the reporter firmly. Belated is the key word here, the suggestion being that the ball was already over the line. Backing up Ness as scorer, reports in GH/SC/AN all do so without mentioning Hair at all. We're compelled to go with Ness per the description and clear majority view.
