notes
  • A friendly arranged as part of the Bert Kinnell transfer deal which had occurred between the clubs in March 1948.
  • Of the 3 papers we've checked, the only unanimous verdict for Thistle's goalscorers is that the second was scored by Bert Kinnell. DET: Buchan, Kinnell, Buchan. DC: Buchan, Kinnell, Lang, Kinnell. DP: McCallum, Kinnell, Lang, Kinnell. Thankfully, there is a 2/3 majority for goals 1, 3 and 4 and therefore we've applied as Buchan, Kinnell, Lang, Kinnell.
