notes

SC credits John Wallace with both of Thistle's goals but OH/LH/SP all say the first was scored by Bill McCrindle and we stick with the majority.

Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were level at half-time from goals by McCrindle (7) and Wallace (21) matched by Hearts (8 and 17). Strong running by McSpadyen was a feature but after half-time they were not as much of a threat. Sutherland and Wallace picked up injuries and weakened Thistle conceded 2 more. “Sprightly Thistle blacked out“ (SP). (Hearts' Black scored a hat-trick.)
