Review

A record crowd at a club game in Britain for this season witnessed a game of punishing pace and he-man exchanges. The visitors opened the scoring with a 30 yard free kick from Lynch was on its way goalward when Brown turned the ball out, but Hazlett was following up and scored. From the start of the second half Rangers took the initiative and after 15 minutes Waddell tricked Mallan and crossed to the far post where Duncanson headed the ball back for Gillick to prod into the net. late in the game a Gallacher cross came back off the face of the bar and was scrambled clear by Shaw.
