McKay [i] |
![]() McKay (forename unknown) was probably born in Scotland, although his place and date of birth remain unknown to us. * The midfielder appeared for Thistle in May, 1885. He made his only known appearance on Saturday, 30th May, 1885, in a 2-0 friendly defeat away to Dundee Harp. There were no goals for McKay in his only known appearance for Thistle. His known club-list included only Partick Thistle. We don't know where or when McKay died. *

![]() We had three McKay's in the eleven which played Dundee Harp at East Dock Street on 30th May 1894, so it's a tough ask to sort them out. We've labelled the #6 as our 'McKay [i]'. As ever in Dundee, “a big crowd turned out to see the celebrated Partick Thistle” as the Courier told it. Harp took the lead (20) after sustained pressure at a scrimmage. The Thistle defence played well but shooting was wild. A better second half saw numerous chances wasted and some ill-luck before goalie Duff blundered off his line for 2-0. |
