| Match Summary |
Watched by the Scots selectors, United forge ahead – not before Phillips had hit a post – by Mitten’s shot and Pearson’s header. Clarke scores from close range, then ‘39 veteran Parker levels from Harris’ centre. Ferrier atones for his handball by keeping cool after Chilton handled. |
