notes
  • OH (by process of elimination) credits John Bowie with Thistle's opener. SC says Bowie shot's was saved and Houston scored and the best account SP re-affirms, saying that Houston forced the keeper's error and got the final touch. GH/DR back-up Houston, so we're on safe territory. OH (by process of elimination) has William Hamilton as the scorer of Thistle's third (a penalty) and this is backed up by the DR. However, by far the best account of the match (SP) states it was Neil Harris and this is backed up by GH/SC so we're more than happy to say it was Neil's goal. Poor show that a penalty scorer can't be called unanimously!
