Trivia
- Celtic’s first ever match in the wartime Southern League Cup (in place of the Scottish Cup for those playing the Scottish Southern League setup).
- The Southern League Cup was a regional Scottish football competition held during the Second World War, due to the suspension of national competitions. Held between 1940 and 1946, the competition involved all teams from the Southern League and was played as four groups of four with the group winners forming the semi-finals. In the final season, due to additional teams, the competition doubled in size with quarter-finals for the eight group winners.
