Trivia
- Alec Thomson gets the winner for Celtic in a team that welcomes back Bertie Thomson after an absence. The end-of-season, Wednesday, crowd didn't have much to shout about.
- The Championship of the First Division of the Scottish League is now almost within the grasp of Motherwell. Rangers, their only rivals for the title, whose long sequence of wins has become so monotonous that a change would everywhere be welcomed, were defeated yesterday by Third Lanark by 4 goals to 3. The great Ibrox side may still win the Cup, but it looks as though the "double event" were to elude them.
- In a full programme of football in England. Everton and Arsenal, the leaders in the First Division, each dropped a point but remain on top with Everton 3 points clear of Arsenal.
- The front page of the Scotsman advertises “Two Very Reliable Whiskies! Kay's R.M., The Real MacKay at 12/6 (63 pence) the bottle and 25 UP, "Special Liqueur” at 13 /6 (68 pence) the bottle from John Kay & Co., 44 Grindlay St & 89 Hanover St, Edinburgh.

CELTIC'S NARROW WIN
Only six thousand spectators appeared at Celtic Park yesterday for the return game between Celtic and St Mirren.
When they met at Love Street, Paisley, ten days ago, Celtic won by one goal to none. The Parkhead side won again by the single score, but they were rather fortunate in doing so, as St Mirren had an equal share of the game, particularly in the second half, and were, somewhat surprisingly, refused a penalty kick early in the game.
In the second half both teams had a goal disallowed so that matters were evenly balanced in that connection.
R. Thomson reappeared in the home eleven for the first time for about two months, but he had a bad game and displayed poor judgment.
Neither attack showed to much advantage, only Workman and Mclndoe, for St Mirren, and A. Thomson, for Celtic, playing to form. The latter scored the only goal of the game. His effort was a good one and quite unsaveable.
Cook was the best back on view, but the others were also good, and the goalkeepers made some fine saves.
McStay and Miller were the outstanding half-backs; they alone displayed placing ability. It was a typical end of season game, and the players showed little enthusiasm.
