notes

The SC credits John Wyllie (inside right) as the scorer, whilst the SP reckons it was his brother George Wyllie (centre forward). JL sits on the fence with plain "Wylie". Having compared the reports, the SP is most convincing, and goes out of its way to individually critique the performances of both brothers, suggesting that they were switched on to the distinction between the two. Re-affirming that position, TSP also reports it was George and we therefore credit him with the goal, keeping us in line with the OH.

Match Report

TTA report

Failure to take chances cost Thistle this match. As early as the 1st minute, Cummings missed a penalty. Goals (5 and 47) saw Thistle off - regretting all the chances they frittered away. Wyllie (J) - brother of Wyllie (G) - had a useful debut and the latter scored (81). Thistle remained 2nd bottom.
