Rangers' Rae of Sunshine Not Eclipsed

AFTER being taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary with a suspected 'eg fracture on Saturday, Rae, left half of Rangers "A," returned to the field to score the only goal of the match against Aberdeen "A." An X-ray showed that a nerve had been affected.
Poor finishing cost Aberdeen reserves the points. Even against ten men for most of the game they could not seriously trouble Niven, the Ibrox goalkeeper.
Gibson, the new leader from Ashington, was well policed by Stanners, and got little chance to show his paces on the muddy pitch.
Miller and Stenhouse combined well on the right. Finlay was a forcing wing half-back, and Massie, Roy and Robson were sound in defence.
Rangers' only goal was scored four minutes from time.
