Trivia
- Celtic & World War One
- This game was scheduled for Shawfield Stadium but a fire in the early hours of the morning of the game meant that it had to be transferred to Celtic Park.
- Celtic offered Clyde facilities at Celtic Park to train until their grandstand was re-built or alternative arrangements could be made and Clyde took up this kind offer.
- Reports in the Scotsman from Amsterdam state that Berlin is claiming that Major Charles Alex Yate <sic> of the Yorkshire Light Infantry has managed to escape from Targau POW Camp.

The Scotsman, Tuesday 29th Sept, 1914.
These teams met at Parkhead in a League engagement. The game was down to be played at the Clyde’s enclosure, but early yesterday morning their stand and pavilion were burned to the ground.
Celtic, with the aid of a strong wind in the first half monopolised matters and in four minutes McMenemy opened the scoring. This was followed by another from McColl and two minutes later Browning with the best shot of the match added a third.
In the second half Clyde, although having most of the play failed to get the better of the Celtic defence. Fleming was the only one who had any idea of where the goal lay, and one effort of his almost counted, the post alone saving the Celtic.
The attendance numbered 12,000.
Glasgow Herald, Tuesday 29th September 1914.
With the assistance of the breeze in the opening half Celtic were early aggressive, McMenemy scoring after four minutes’ play. Thereafter Clyde were rarely in evidence but with McTurk and his backs putting up a grand defence Celtic had to be satisfied with a three goal lead at the interval.
On crossing over Clyde displayed marked improvement, but Celtic won deservedly, their work throughout being more polished than that of their opponents.
