Trivia

  • First Round Replay after the 2-2 draw.
  • George Hunter's debut game in goal. John Bonnar was alleged to have 'flu, but he'd had a couple of bad games and it's more than likely that the word came down from Robert kelly and Sonny Hunter got his debut game in the first team.
  • John McPhail was back as centre forward having recovered from a groin strain
