notes

ET seems to have misheard Henderson, Morrison & Picken as (the otherwise unheard of) Anderson, Harrison & Aitken! We've estimated the attendance at 250 (and that's being generous) based on the Evening Times statement of "a £10 gate", an exceptionally low turnout. We know that it was 1 shilling entry (stand extra) and 6d for boys/soldiers/sailors.

Match Report

TTA report

“Thistle baffle Saints“ (DR). It was a nightmare debut for Saints' goalkeeper on his debut when he let a Campbell shot through his legs (10). Strangely Thistle fell out of the game until Saints levelled early in the second half at which point they overran them and goals from Peat and Wallace made the points safe.
