Trivia
- The injury to Darvel-born Robert Ireland, the St. Johnstone defender after half an hour had been played was a handicap too much for the Perth men, as Celtic ran out easy winners with Hugh, Frank O'Donnell, and Charlie Napier scoring five between them.
- Motherwell had little trouble in defeating a weakened Queen's Park side. The amateurs, who had two men away playing for the Scottish Amateurs at Copenhagen, were badly outplayed, though making a plucky fight. All the Motherwell forwards were again scorers. The Rangers overcame Dundee at Dundee with something to spare, and the same Celtic eleven as drew with the Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle were much too good for St Johnstone at Parkhead. The Celts showed good form, and the Perth men did not.
- Over the Border Derby County drew at London with Arsenal, and Aston Villa also got a draw at Huddersfield. The Villa are still undefeated. Chelsea were winners, and also Everton, West Bromwich Albion, and Portsmouth, but Newcastle United went down to Sheffield United.
- Seven heavy-laden vans, containing looms and other plant, arrived at the Dunfermline Upper Station during the week-end from Switzerland, the consignees being Winterthur Silks (Ltd.), Canmore Works. The weaving of silk and artificial silk fabrics had been begun on a small scale at the works and will soon be in full production.

CELTIC EASY WINNERS
An attendance of 5,000 spectators saw the Celtic gain an easy victory over St. Johnstone at Celtic Park, Glasgow.
The Perth team opened fairly well, but they found the home half-backs much too strong for them, and Kennaway's work was mainly confined to fielding shots from a fair distance.
The Celtic did not play so well as at Tynecastle, but they were always superior to their opponents. The brothers O'Donnell in the forward line paved the way for their victory. After the ball had twice come off the woodwork, Hugh scored the opening goal in eleven minutes, and the younger member, of the family added a second. Although he appeared to receive the ball in an offside position he did his work very cleverly.
Before the interval Hugh added to the score with a fine first time effort, and the home side were thus in possession of a safe margin.
To their backs and goalkeeper St. Johnstone owed a lot, as but for their really fine defence, the score would have been much greater.
Napier added two goals in the second half, one after a fine individual effort and the other from a penalty kick.
St. Johnstone played pluckily but were outclassed, and they suffered not a little owing to an injury to Ireland.
The Celtic were not too impressive to begin with, but latterly settled down to a very fine game.
