Match Report

TTA report

It was a mystery how Thistle lost a game in which the right wing triangle of Elliott, McSpadyen and McKennan ran the Rangers defence ragged. They did everything but score. Rangers (who hit the post early on) were sorely pressed until their goal from a breakaway (90). A bitter start to 1937.
