Trivia
- Bertie Peacock was back fit and McAlindon dropped out.
- Game kick off time was 2:50 and entrance prices were 5/- for the stand, 2s 3d for the Enclosure and 1s 6 for the Ground and boys were 7d (all including tax!). These prices were similar for all clubs.
- The death was announced of former Celt Alec McNair. Willie Maley said of him, "he was a treasure and a gentleman in every sense of the word. In 20 years of service I had never once to alter my first impression of him. Alec was the coolest and most thoughtful player I have seen."
- An inside left, Willie Morrison of Loanhead Mayflower was trying out with Celtic reserves. He would be signed on the 24th
Review
Though a victory there was no glimpse of a consistent recovery. McPhail was noted as failing to spark and was out-played by Rodgers. Fallon was said to be 'brutal' in the tackle. In contrast Boden was "…. merely vehement without being intimidatory."
