Match Pictures | Matches: 19041905 | 1904-05 League

Trivia

  • Hat-trick by Quinn, and a single from Finlay McLean.
  • The return of Quinn added a couple of thousand to the crowd, and he did not disappoint.
  • "All through he was playing in deadly style, and although he received a injury to one of his legs, that did not prevent him adding a third near the end".
  • Quinn had been on crutches over the summer after a vicious tackle in a nasty performance by Rangers in the Glasgow Charity Cup final in May.
  • Some sources have a double for Finlay McLean. Both the Scottish Referee and the Glasgow Herald say that Jimmy Quinn had a hat-trick, and we have gone with that.
