Trivia

  • Played in adverse conditions. Rain fell heavily till the start and there was a strong cross wind.
  • Debut for John Blackwood. The Glasgow Herald report was unnecessarily quite caustic on his appearance in the match:
    “The Hearts played their usual team, but the Celts made an experiment – a [….] one , we venture to state in playing Blackwood (Petershill) in the centre. It was a trying introduction to first-class football, and the Celtic paid the penalty, as Blackwood was seldom noticed during the game.”
  • It was to be John Blackwood’s only major competitive appearance for Celtic with Sandy McMahon returning the next week.
