Trivia
- Celtic start slowly but came on strong as the game went on, and ended up comfortable winners after a second-half treble from Buchan, Delaney, and McGrory.
- The Scottish League football had a full programme despite frost and snow, and saw Partick Thistle draw with Aberdeen. Celtic and Rangers have cut Aberdeen's lead to two points.
- Bad weather is still affecting the games in England and 40,000 were shut out of Stamford Bridge when the Chelsea v Fulham cup tie was postponed at the last minute due to fog.
- A letter in the Glasgow Herald points to the hypocrisy of Glasgow Corporation in complaining that the price they pay for land is too high (£1 per sq. yard or £5,000 per acre) when they charge much higher rates.

FOUR GOALS FOR CELTIC
KILMARNOCK'S WEAK SECOND HALF
Although Kilmarnock made a good stand during the early stages of the game, and were rather unfortunate to cross over in arrears, Celtic latterly dominated their visitors, and won somewhat easily.
Smith was again an absentee from the Ayrshire half-back line, and while his experience was missed, McClure, his young deputy, made a good appearance. Kilmarnock gave Kennaway a lot of trouble during the early stages, and against a less talented goalkeeper might have scored twice. They appeared to master the ground conditions better than the home side to begin with, but when Celtic found their feet, after the interval, there was no doubt as to the destination of the points.
Celtic's opening goal was the result of a free kick, and rather against the run of play. Lyon drove hard for goal, and Delaney, who had taken up his position in the barricading line, ducked to allow the ball a free passage into the net.
When Celtic applied the pressure in the second half they were rather unfortunate, two excellent tries by Buchan and Crum rebounding from the woodwork. Then Buchan shot weakly into Miller's hands, and the goalkeeper failed to retain the ball.
Later, Delaney and McGrory added another couple. Celts were the more impressive side once they settled, Kilmarnock's efforts being of the spasmodic order.
The attendance was 6,000.
