Taken from the Illustrated London News Dec; 7 1872 On Saturday last the long-talked of football game England v Scotland was played on the West of Scotland Cricket Ground, at Partick near Glasgow. It was the first match of any importance ever played in Scotland under the Association rules, and attracted a very large number of spectators. The play throughout was brilliant in the extreme; and though the English team, which was much the heavier, had perhaps a little the best of the game. no decisive advantage was gained by either side, and the proceedings ended in a draw.The forward play of J. Weir, on the Scotch side, and the magnificent dribbling of C.J.Ottaway, the English captain, deserve especial mention. We append the names of the two elevens. England----C. J.
