Season 1917-18

1917-18 began at Tynecastle against Hearts with bizarre events! Saints outside right Higginbottom was getting a lot of abuse from a certain spectator, and with Saints 2-1 down, Higginbottom had had enough and vaulted the fence and gave chase to the offending person! Newspapers of the time give no account of whether he caught the spectator, but on his return to the field of play he was promptly sent off by the referee!

This was to be followed later in the season by a pitch invasion at Love Street by a Canadian soldier, protesting at the War!

Erratic results were again the order of the day, with a 5-1 victory over Hamilton being followed a week later by 5-1 defeat at Kilmarnock!

The Paisley Charity Cup was won with a 3-0 victory over Abercorn.
