Trivia

  • Andrew Gibson played his first of two trial matches for Celtic in this game but was deemed to not be good enough.
  • The other notable point of this game was the parading of the Scottish Cup as Celtic had just won the trophy the previous week in a 2-0 victory over Clyde. Notably the trophy was paraded with some small children with bugles in bare feet.
  • Meanwhile the Titanic on her maiden voyage is sailing serenely across the Atlantic in good weather!
  • Monday April 8 Celtic v Raith Rovers postponed because of gales

Review

Relaxed, happy occasion with the Scottish Cup, draped in green and white ribbons, paraded by young supporters, one of them barefoot!

Andy McAtee outstanding on the right wing.
