Trivia
- Jimmy McGrory headed Celtic in front in 6 minutes, then Dundee's inside-left Robertson, headed an equaliser in 9 minutes, but Jimmy Delaney responded immediately in 10 minutes, then Johnny Crum in 16, and finally for Celtic Delaney in 54 put the issue beyond doubt. Archie Coats had a "splendid" consolation goal in 68 minutes for Dundee.
- Of the four leading clubs in the Scottish League, First Division, on Saturday, only Rangers did not succeed in winning full points. Playing at home, Rangers were held to a draw by Queen's Park, and the amateurs' performance was all the more noteworthy in view of the fact that they were three goals in arrears at the interval.
- Among many startling results in the English League, First Division, the defeat of Aston Villa, at home, stands out as the most surprising event. Visited by the only club below them, Grimsby Town, they lost by six goals to two, and they now fall to the bottom of the First Division. Regarded as one of the greatest clubs of all time, Aston Villa are going through by far the worst experience of their career. Original members of the League, and six times winners of the cup with double honours coming to them in the same season, they now have no club below them in the championship competition. While that change took place at the bottom of the competition, Derby County rose to top place with a 3-0 win over Manchester City. Derby’s win was a triumph for Scots and in particular the goal-scorers Ex-Celt Charlie Napier (2) and Hughie Gallacher.
- A special train, drawn by the L.M.S. Jubilee engine "Silver Link," will convey the Duke of Gloucester and Lady Alice Scott on their honeymoon journey to Kettering after their marriage on Wednesday. Leaving St Pancras at 3. 45–P.M., the train will complete its nonstop journey to Kettering at 5.01. p.m. A Royal saloon, with lounges and smoke-room, will form part of the train, and important railway officials will travel on board. One hundred uniformed police and 50 special constables will be on duty at the station.
- Scotland has made some unique contributions to the Royal wedding presents with a set of 8 Chippendale chairs made in about 1780 and a diamond and sapphire brooch in the shape of a thistle as the City of Glasgow’s wedding gift to the Royal couple. A unique Edinburgh clock presented by the directors and senior officials of the Royal Bank of Scotland, to Lady Alice Scott has been supplied by Messrs Hamilton & Inches, Princes Street. The clock, which is the only one of its kind in existence, is a month regulator astronomical clock, and was made by Reid & Auld, of Edinburgh, in 1814.

MORE POINTS FOR CELTIC
DUNDEE'S SECOND-HALF CHALLENGE
Celtic continued on their winning way at Parkhead, Glasgow, where they defeated Dundee by four goals to two.
McGrory secured the opening goal after six minutes, when he headed the ball through from a pass from Crum. Dundee fought back, and in eleven minutes. Kirby finished a fine run by crossing to centre, and Robertson piloted the ball past Kennaway with his head for the equaliser.
From the kick-off Celtic bore down on the left, and a cross from Murphy found Delaney unmarked. The winger quickly drove the ball into the net to give Celtic the lead once more. The home team then settled to a fine game, and kept the Dundee defence on the alert. Murphy had the measure of Warren, and it came as no surprise when the left winger eluded the back, and passed to Crum, whose shot took Marsh by surprise.
With a comfortable lead Celtic slackened off, but hard as Coats and his colleagues tried, Kennaway and his backs were equal to all calls. Ten minutes after the interval, Delaney slipped through to shoot hard for goal, but Richards, who was standing on the goal line, blocked his shot. The winger, however, caught the rebound, and scored.
Dundee threw everything into attack, and, after Kennaway was injured in making a daring save. Coats got through to beat the goalkeeper, and reduce the deficit. The Celtic defence was sound, with Lyon outstanding, and Murphy, Delaney, and McGrory were best of the forwards.
The visitors were well served by Marsh, Russell, Coats, and Robertson.
The attendance was 10,000.
