Trivia
- Sheffield Utd were English league title holders and Celtic Scottish league title holders
- Billed as the Championship of Great Britain
- This was the first leg, second leg was at Celtic Park where it was a 1-1 draw.
- Martin Moran of Celtic: “I played the game of my life… I haven’t played a better one since“, although not noted in the program line-up.
- When Celtic played United @ Bramall Lane in 12/3/1898, Sheffield still had 4 league games to play and Sunderland could still have caught them: they didn`t so by the time The Blades arrived at Parkhead on 16/4/1898, it was a clash of the countries`s champions.
