Andy Davidson sent off for violent conduct, striking Bobby Gould, 88 minutes.

In blistering heat, Bruck’s 35-yard ground-shot creeps past a surprised Hull new-boy McKechnie. Newly promoted Tigers’ potent strike-force is tamed but City have to defend well near the end. Davidson off for hitting Gould. Machin is injured but Ian Gibson is the new fans’ hero.
