A typical cup-tie with goalmouth incidents at both ends. Despite lots of Thistle pressure, Hurlford scored twice on the break then they made it 3-0 (46) and killed the tie. Thistle lost Smith through injury then Campbell and a Hurlford player were sent off for fighting. The second half was “rather rough” (AP).

At Whiteinch. The play for the first ten minutes was wholly confined to the visitors territory. Hurlford then broke through, and Goudie scored. Thistle then pressed, but were unable to elude Bell. Another break away by Hurlford was successful. The Thistle hung on the ball too long and spoiled their chance. The visitors, however, latterly, showed improved play. Resuming again, Findlay put on a third point for Hurlford. Hurlford, three goals; Partick Thistle, nil.

The Scotsman, 26th September, 1891

After the disappointing Cathcart result, there was an appalling defeat, 3-0 at home to Hurlford in the Scottish Cup, despite having most of the play in a rough game. Thistle lost Jacky Smith late in the game after “an accident”, before Thomas Campbell was sent off along with Cosgrove of Hurlford. At the disciplinary meeting after the game, the referee accused both players of fighting. Campbell responded by saying that he had never been accused of rough play before, and if it had not been for his smartness in avoiding Cosgrove’s butting head he would have been carried of the field, Cosgrove denied butting, but admitted charging. Both players were censured. This game continued the poor run of results since the defeat at Hampden.
