20,173 gave Thistle a warm reception. They were seldom out of trouble and the midfield was overrun by top of the league Aberdeen. Goals came 4, 25, 29, 53, 80, 87 and a pen 89. Thistle's goals were an OG (40) and from Bone (63). 3 goals in the last 10 minutes over-egged it but it had been a momentous week!

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.
