Trivia
- Charlie Napier scored in 7 minutes only for Johnny Torbet to equalise in 12 minutes, then Irishman, Tommy Dickson put Hamilton in front in 29 minutes. Twelve minutes after the break Celtic were awarded a penalty but Napier missed the chance to equalise.
- Tempers are lost at the final whistle and players of both sides come to blows.
- A heavy programme of matches in both divisions of the Scottish League was carried through last evening. The results in the premier section were not all in accordance with expectations. Taken in conjunction with those already recorded, they hold but hopes of a very lively and unusually open competition. The big surprise was the defeat of Celtic at Parkhead by Partick Thistle, who had earlier fallen to the Heart of Midlothian.
- Motherwell, the League champions, won their first match, and this involved Dundee's third successive loss, the Dens Park men having made a deplorable start. Aberdeen were expected to beat Kilmarnock at Pittodrie, but not by such a wide margin as seven goals to one. St Johnstone continue to do well, but the other promoted side, East Stirlingshire, have yet to win a point. Winners in the Second Division were Hibernians, Dunfermline Athletic, East Fife, Bo'ness, Dumbarton, Brechin City, and Albion Rovers.
- The Prince of Wales and Prince George have arrived at Biarritz from Cannes.

CELTIC'S MISSED PENALTY
Celtic were unexpectedly beaten by Partick Thistle at Parkhead last night.
Against a strong sun and wind, Celtic immediately visited Jackson, and Napier headed narrowly over, to return a few seconds later and strike the woodwork.
The Thistle fought back and actually scored, but offside had been signalled previously, and Celtic then went through to score from R. Thomson's cross, Napier putting in the final touch. This was seven minutes from the start.
Jackson had some splendid saves following this from Napier and A. Thomson, his handling being first-class. Five minutes later Thistle came away, and a mistake by McDonald allowed Boardman to send out to Dickson, who crossed for Torbet to head in, the ball touching the centre-half before going through.
When seventeen minutes had gone Torbet broke through and passed to Boardman, who collided with Kennaway, and the ball travelled out to Dickson, the outside man having no difficulty in placing it into the net.
Cameron had an excellent opportunity on the resumption, being well through, but he shot weakly past. McGrory then forced a corner, which Napier headed over.
Still pressing, R. Thomson shot from close in but offside was given, and Celtic were sent back once more. After twelve minutes A. Thomson was brought down inside the penalty area but the award of a spot-kick did not help the Celtic, as Napier shot high over the bar.
Celtic returned to the attack, and Cameron sent a great shot past the outcoming Jackson, but Donnelly stopped the effort, although the home team claimed strongly that it was through.
The home team were pressing almost incessantly, but Thistle's defence was very safe and gave nothing away.
The attendance was 10,000.
It was rather unfortunate that a squabble between some of the players at the end of this game at Celtic Park should have marred what had been an exciting fight for the points. Towards the end tempers had obviously been ruffled on both sides, and when the final whistle sounded opposing players came to loggerheads on the field. Such action is to be deplored, and the players concerned should be dealt with.
