Trivia
- In 62 minutes George Paterson put Celtic in front from the penalty spot (he had missed a penalty in the first-half), and just one minute later Montrose's centre-forward Oliphant equalised from the penalty spot. The scores were level again until in 74 minutes Frank O'Donnell scored, and one minute later Willie Buchan added another. Frank O'Donnell completed the formalities by scoring, with one minute remaining. Montrose's goalkeeper Waistel Gerrand, who saved penalty kick in the first-half kept the scoreline down.
- Top cup-tie in Scotland was Dundee v Motherwell with 21,000 attending and receipts of £1,200, next was Ayr v Queen of the South with a 17,000 crowd and £967 gate money. Celtic’s tie with Montrose drew a 5,000 crowd with £186 receipts, according to the Glasgow Herald.
- In the FA Cup, Derby County defeated Swansea Town 3-0. A sharp snowstorm helped Swansea in their raids, and Kirby had to save long shots from Bussey and Joseph Sykes. During this time Harry Hanford played a fine game at centre-half for Swansea, and once he stopped Gallacher when about to shoot from close quarters. After change of ends, Duncan, who, like Crooks, had been most prominent in the Derby attack, sent in a shot which Walton could not stop. Derby County increased their lead through Groves, who scored from a few yards out, and from a well-placed corner which Gallacher nodded into the net.
- Mr T O’Brien of the National Association of Theatrical Employees is in Glasgow to press for union membership for cinema workers. Speaking at a Glasgow Trades Council meeting Mr O’Brien said it was common for youths under 18 to work a 60-70 hour week for 10/- (50p), and male adults to do these hours for 36/- (about £1.80p).
- Democratic Senator for Louisiana, Huey “King Fish” Long, described in a Glasgow Herald report as a dictator, has declared a state of emergency and mobilised the National Guard after 200 of his opponents (Square Dealers) armed themselves and took over the court house in East Baton Rouge.

CELTIC GET A FRIGHT
The Celtic eventually found it fairly easy to overcome Montrose, but their visitors, lowly placed in the Second Division of the League, gave them a fright in the first half and for a part of the second.
The home team had Morrison at left back, and rearranged their forward line, Delaney dropping out and F. O'Donnell coming in as support to his brother.
Montrose were set to face a stiff wind, and the Celts opened with a fine display of football, but as time went on, and there was no sign of a goal, the home club followers began to get impatient. Paterson failed at a penalty kick awarded for handling, and Montrose held on until the interval without a goal being scored.
McGrory had strained himself in the first half and had gone to outside left. With the wind behind them in the second period Montrose gave the Celtic a fairly anxious time in the first 15 minutes and shot from all angles. But the Parkhead men gradually asserted themselves, and midway through the half, during a hot siege on Gerrand’s goal, Calder handled the ball in the penalty area, and Paterson made no mistake with his second chance.
Excitement was high when, within one minute, Oliphant equalised, converting a "penalty" given against a Celt for "hands." The Celtic players then-exerted themselves to the full and F. O'Donnell scored a fine goal 29 minutes after the restart.
The First Division League team were then "on top" for the first time, and after a grand individual effort and goal by Buchan, the splendid Montrose challenge came to an end and just on time F. O'Donnell scored another goal.
The Celts won easily enough in the end but their form was far from impressive, and with McGrory injured they are again faced with a forward problem.
The Montrose men made a great fight, but were outplayed in the later stages of the match. Gerrand, King, Allan, and Oliphant were the visitors' best men.
The attendance was 5000, and the gate receipts came to £185.
