Trivia

  • Still stands as the record post-war home defeat (in domestic matches).
  • Glasgow Herald: “Futile Celtic forwards”, “complete lack of ability in the Celtic line”.
  • In retrospect, it’s no wonder after performances like this one that Celtic came close to relegation at the end of the season. No Jackie Gallacher in the attack didn’t help. Likely the result that forced the move to sign up Jock Weir.
