Trivia
- Jimmy McGrory opened the scoring in two minutes and two minutes before half time Charlie Napier got Celtic's second. Hugh Morton, Kilmarnock's right-half back was injured towards the end of the first-half and was a passenger for the remainder of the game, which made it easier for Celtic to add goals by Peter Wilson, from the penalty spot, and McGrory at the death.
- The most noteworthy events in Scottish football on Saturday were the successes of Leith Athletic and East Fife in the Second Division of the League, and the defeat of the Albion Rovers. These happenings combined decided the question of promotion, which has been so long in the balance. The Leith and Methil clubs will go up, and the Rovers of Coatbridge will have to stay where they are. The trio have had a great struggle. It was at Kirkcaldy that Albion Rovers had their fate settled. East Fife have never before been in the First Division, and it is twenty-five years since Leith Athletic were there. They went out then after a stay of four seasons.
- [“Morning Post" and "The Scotsman” Correspondent.] Chicago, April 18: — Al Capone and George ("Bugs") Moran, two of Chicago's pre-eminent gang overlords, have followed the trend of American big business and merged their vice and liquor interests and other enterprises for common profit. The disarmament treaty implied in the arrangement will end the bitter competition between the two, which brought into play machine guns and bombs in the past. With the two gangs working amicably side by side territory will be allotted to each. Moran, according to the pact, will have liquor selling privileges in Chicago northside, while Capone retains his beer privileges in the loop section of westside.
- A resolution proposing a boycott of "talkie" picture houses where human orchestras had been displaced was passed by the Scottish Trade Union Congress, sitting in Edinburgh.

CELTIC'S EASY VICTORY.
The Celtic-Kilmarnock game was fought out at Parkhead, Glasgow, before 4,009 spectators.
There was a blustering wind blowing, which made ball control difficult. The game, nevertheless, was not devoid of bright patches.
The Celtic owed their victory to the enthusiasm and dash of their forwards and the skillful purveying of their half-backs. Kilmarnock, on the other hand, although handicapped through an old injury to Morton reasserting itself, were a feckless lot, and their forwards could not take their chances.
Outstanding performers on the Celtic side were Cook, Wilson, Robertson, A. Thomson, Napier, and McGrory; and Kilmarnock's best were Clemie, Nibloe, Hogg, Wales, and Cunningham.
The goalscorers were McGrory (2), Napier, and Wilson, from a penalty.
