notes

Definitely a home game although not sure why Thistle switched from Firhill. Other Quarter Finalists Clyde, Raith Rovers and Falkirk all played at Shawfield, Starks and Brockville so a neutral venue for tournament is not the answer. Junior Cup final was played that day at Hampden Park.

Match Report

TTA report

Ibrox. Hibs took the lead with a tap in (13) when Steadward could only parry a volley. A 30-yard pass by Husband to Sharp set up Gourlay to lob the advancing keeper for an equaliser (34). The second half was poor however and Thistle only had themselves to blame for missing chances that would have won it.
