notes

Alex Younger played under the psuedonym of “Smith”. SC credits McLeod with Hibs 4th, the DR says it was Adams. We stick with the former, but it's just a guess in the meantime.

Match Report

TTA report

Hibs took an early lead against the run of play then proceeded to miss umpteen chances. The remaining goals came late on in the game and by that time Thistle were “a dispirited lot” (SC). “There was no spark of initiative or vitality in the whole team” (DR). So there!
