Trivia
- Celtic & World War One
- Sniper Jim McColl with four goals shoots Accies down.
- Hamilton are no match for Celtic and it takes a goal from their 'guest' player John Alexander Graham of Woolwich Arsenal to save Accies blushes and it is stated in the Glasgow Herald that the Celts have only to win their next two matches to closure the competition.
- Page 7 of the same edition of The Glasgow Herald has the headline "British Occupy Bagdad". LINK
- The Herald also carries a report that seems critical of Greenock council's decision to remain a 'wet' area and not go for prohibition of alcohol sales like other councils such as Kilsyth, Kirkintilloch, Wick and Lerwick which were amongst those that turned dry after local vetoes were held following the passing of the 1913 Temperance Act.
