Trivia
- Second & final game for Sam Glasgow. Sam won the place mainly due to Willie McStay, who together with Joe Cassidy, was on Scotland duty.
- Tommy McInally scores a hat-trick, but the Glasgow Herald reports little else on the game concentrating instead on the international match with Wales at Pittodrie, only the second one to be held there, where the home side won 2-1. LINK
- In the same copy of the Herald is a report entitled "Daring Rebel Attack on Trian" detailing how on February11th between Rathcoole and Millstreet, Co. Cork the train from Mallow was held up about by 200 rebels who opened fire on the train in which Crown forces were travelling. Other troubles in various parts of Ireland are detailed.
- Also in the Herald a report that attributes fire-raising in a Lancashire mill being the work of "Sein Fein".
- Again in the Herald a report that Winston Churchill gave a speech at the English Speaking Union on at times having "had to deviate into a field to pick buttercups pick buttercups, admire the landscape and gain inspiration".

Match report from The Scotsman, 15th February 1921
[…] There was little to get excited about in the game at Parkhead, Glasgow, where St Mirren were thoroughly beaten by the home team. Their defence put up a stout fight for 30 minutes, when Gallagher worked his way in and beat Toole with a fast ground shot. Five minutes before the interval a soft shot from McLean was allowed to roll into the net through a misunderstanding between Grieve and Toole. In the second half the Saints defence was overworked, and in the closing stages goals came easily to the Celtic. McInally scored a third goal, and Gallagher scored a fourth after a brilliant individual effort. Before the finish McInally added another two goals. Attendance 8000.

The Glasgow Herald – Feb 14, 1921
Celtic also had a depleted side, yet they had the largest score of the day, 6-0 against St. Mirren. The Celtic centre, McInally, scored three goals, and the Paisley team were as badly outplayed as the score indicates.
