TTA report

A cracker. Gallagher was set up by a through ball to slot home (4). A blunder by MacLean allowed Clydebank to equalise (15) then they went ahead (suspiciously off-side, 44). Gallagher headed in (61) and in a storming last 10 minutes Thistle had 2 free-kicks, 4 corners, a shot off the post and one off the line.

Drew Herbertson's new book tells their long overdue story, providing biographies of all the Scots who have handled international matches. From the early pioneers when international football first started in 1872 through to the current FIFA list, “Scotland's International Football Referees” commemorates their careers and is a tribute to their achievements.
