Trivia
- Hearts went ahead through Dave McCulloch just after the break, but a goal on the hour by Jimmy Delaney and and another by Johnny Crum in 81 minutes settled the issue in Celtic's favour. Willie Buchan was the man of the match.
- While Aberdeen were losing points at Cathkin Park, Celtic were battling their way to victory against the Heart of Midlothian. Hearts did not show the prolific scoring mood, of the previous Saturday, but although the young forwards were held, the defenders stood firm and Celtic had to fight every inch of the way before securing the deciding goal ten minutes from the end.
- Chelsea hosted Sunderland in front of 65,000 fans. Sunderland took the lead but Chelsea came back with three goals to win 3-1. Elsewhere Derby, with an all-Scottish forward line won well against Aston Villa with Charlie Napier outstanding and Jimmy Boyd and Hughie Gallacher scoring.
- The Emperor of Abyssinia Haile Selassie I, has informed the League of Nations Council that general mobilisation cannot be belayed any longer in view of the increasing menace of Italian aggression.
- Advertisments in the Glasgow Herald are priced at 10d. (abt.5p) per line.

CELTICS FINE RALLY
HEARTS UNABLE TO HOLD OUT AT PARKHEAD
The Celtic's winning sequence was seriously challenged by the Heart of Midlothian at Parkhead, Glasgow, and it was only a determined rally that saved the home side from conceding one point at least.
There was no doubt that the Celts were the better side, and quite deserved their 2-1 win but they failed to make the most of their advantages until the Hearts had taken the lead, and it required an enthusiastic and typically Celtic revival to break down a very good defence. The Hearts, too, missed several chances at goal in the course of short spells of attack in the first half when the forwards, with little support from the half-backs, were rash with their few good opportunities.
The home forwards made most of the running, but seldom put enough pith into their shooting to trouble Harkness unduly, and they were countered for the most part by Reid, who played a strong, roving game at centre half-back, checking and breaking-up the Celtic attacks.
The Hearts were fortunate to cross over on equal terms, and a burst by the inside forward trio gave them the lead soon after the restart, McCulloch heading through a cross from A. Munro.
The effect upon the home side was immediate. They adopted shock tactics, and within a few minutes Delaney, the outside right, pushed home the equaliser after a goalmouth melee, in which J. S. Munro, the Tynecastle left back, was hurt.
Both goals had many narrow escapes before Crum finished off a good movement ten minutes from the end with the whining goal. The little centre forward, Buchan, Geatons, and McGonagle all played a notable part in a fighting win.
The Hearts were best in defence; the attack never settled in face of fierce, close tackling. All over, however, the play was of a high standard in spite of miserable weather conditions.
There was an attendance of 25,000.
