Match Report

TTA report

Diminishing interest in the competition meant Rangers and Celtic withdrew and the final scarcely got a mention in the press. Goals by Mitchell (30) when he bundled in a cross the keeper failed to hold and McCoy from 12 yards (71) ensured Thistle were the last team to win this cup as a senior tournament.
