Trivia
- The Glasgow Herald Editorial on the Irish Crisis states: “Mr. de Valera’s inopportune letter to the Pope has created not only annoyance and disquietude in too many minds to be dismissed………as the ill-bred effusion of a small man trying to fill a big role.” LINK
- A contributor to the Letters section in the Herald slates de Valera, pointing out that in 1155 Pope Adrian the 4th gave Ireland to King Henry II of England.
- The Herald carries an advert for the silent film “Young Mrs Winthrop” showing at the City Picture House.

Match report from The Scotsman, 24th October 1921
Matches between the Rangers and the Celtic are notoriously remarkable for moderate football, but the one at Ibrox Park was a pleasant exception. Both sides showed a lot of clever play, and though they were desperately keen there was not much to complain of in the matter of roughness. The first half was pretty even, and the Celtic were rather lucky to lead by a goal scored by McInally close on the interval. In the second half the Rangers were clearly superior, and after Henderson had equalised following a free kick taken by Manderson, they put the Celtic defence under severe pressure. It was Shaw alone who stood between the home team and a victory. Morton was Rangers’ cleverest forward, and the half-backs played a fine forcing game. Manderson and McInally were injured in the second half, but were able to resume and play out the game.
