He scored his second (and final known) goal for us on Saturday, 15th November, 1884, in a 3-1 friendly win at home to Johnstone. That turned out to be his last known game for the club, having appeared for the Thistle on at least 5 occasions. His club-list included Rangers and Partick Thistle. We don't know where or when Maitland died. *
