Trivia
- The only change to the team was the switch of sides between Tully and Fernie, which made little difference as they both regularly rotated and roved on the pitch.
- With Aberdeen winning against Raith Rovers and Clyde losing to Queen of the South, Celtic moved up to second in the table still with the game in hand.
