Trivia

  • Aberdeen's first ever visit to Celtic Park, accompanied by 400 supporters, and they were far from overwhelmed or overawed.
  • McMenemy looked in an offside position when he scored the only goal of the game.
  • There is now a Liberal Government in place under Sir Henry Campbell Bannermann but this will have to be confirmed by a General Election in the New Year.
  • Irish Home Rule now very much back on the agenda.
