notes

OH/JL (by process of elimination) credit Joseph Baker with Thistle's first, but this is contradicted by GH/SC/DC/BNL all of whom say it was Walter Lindsay. We've yet to see a report which credits Baker, and we are therefore obliged to go with Walter Lindsay, as per the latter majority view.

TTA report

After a fine 20-minute spell by Thistle (with regulars still missing), it was all Rangers who won the league winning every game. 4-0 at half-time. Thistle almost scored after the break but soon it was 6-0. “Following a spell of tricky football by the Rangers” (GH), Thistle scored a couple through Currie and Lindsay.

● 21-year-old George Morrison makes his last-known appearance for Thistle.

● 21-year-old Peter Thompson makes his last-known appearance for Thistle.
