A pen by Flanagan (89) gave Thistle a lucky win (and led to a sending off for dissent). Fortunately Ritchie was in excellent form. Flanagan's shot from a Duncan cross against the run of play (35) made it 1-0 but when Hansen dithered, it was 1-1 (44). Luckless Rovers were the better team. “Thistle were better when they lost eight goals” (ET). (Harsh!)

Drew Herbertson's new book tells their long overdue story, providing biographies of all the Scots who have handled international matches. From the early pioneers when international football first started in 1872 through to the current FIFA list, “Scotland's International Football Referees” commemorates their careers and is a tribute to their achievements.
