Trivia
- Scottish Cup 3rd Round replay
- Celtic 2 Hearts 1 (ht 1-1)
- This was the month that Celtic played no-one other than Hearts! Celtic lost 1-2 in an Inter City League game on February 1, then the scheduled Scottish Cup game at Tynecastle on February 8 was frozen off and played as a 1-1 friendly.
Review
Hearts best player Bobby Walker was missing because his father had died.
Celtic who had been to Rothesay to train in midweek were by far the better team with "superior stamina" and "the ball went from Celt to Celt".
This was in spite of the loss of an early goal.
Both McMahon's goals were first class, the first from a free kick and the second from a fierce drive.
