notes

OH/SC say the final Thistle goal was scored (in darkness) by John Torbet, but SP/JL/AN say it was William Fraser. We stick with the OH. St Mirren's second is given to McCrae (SP/JL/AN) and Howieson (SC). We stick with McCrae, perhaps pending further reports.

TTA report

Fraser scored (15) but St Mirren deservedly equalised and went ahead (57). In thickening fog, Gibson beat 2 men and lashed the ball home from 30 yards soon after then Torbet made it 3-2. Ill-feeling crept in and Hair and the St Mirren keeper clashed. Both were sent off (69). Ness and Torbet scored late on in darkness.
