Thistle got off to a great start when Logan scored, beating the keeper to the ball (7) and that's how it remained despite constant pressure. Airdrie missed a penalty on the stroke of half-time. Thistle dominated the second half but Kelly missed an open goal from 6 yards then an equaliser (77) against the run of play meant only a draw.

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.
