notes

The Sunday card was unusual, but the SFA sanctioned it to allow clubs to be flexible in compliance with the 3-day working week crisis of the day, whereby businesses could only consume a limited amount of electricity!

Match Report

TTA report

Thistle's first Sunday match in UK. Despite the score the works team put up a good show. They had 2 shots on target from 40 yards and restricted Thistle to 2-0 at half-time. Once they tired they resorted to the off-side trap and Thistle scored at will through Glavin (3), Craig (2) and Rooney. Down 6-0, Ferranti's goal (76) was sportingly well received.
