Trivia

  • Celtic's "surprising" win at Dumfries knocks Queen's off top spot and almost certainly ensures that the Western League champions will be Rangers.
  • Stanley Matthews turns out for Airdrieonians in the Scottish Cup semi-final against Dundee United at Easter Road before a crowd of 20,252 (£1,014) but even the great man's presence can't stop United winning 3-1.
  • The British Expeditionary Force and Canadian troops are fighting the Germans in Norway.
