Trivia
- Friendly
- Easy win for Aston Villa it seems, who were then at the bottom of the top tier in England. A further measure to how poor Celtic were in that era.
- Apparently created all the "Hoganised" football in this match (reference to legendary coach Jimmy Hogan who had come onto Celtic's staff).
- Celtic had already lost 3 games in the past month, including a 4-0 loss to Rangers on New Years. There were also two wins and a draw.
Review
"A thousand pities Aston Villa don't play in Glasgow every week" said the below report
