Trivia
- Ronnie Simpson, Lisbon Lion who had retired from the game just couldn't keep away and was appointed manager of Hamilton Accies.
- Showing in the poapers as a Challenge match this was a chance to give some of the Reserves and lesser players a run out. John Fallon had lost a lot of time and fitness to a viral infestion that had taken the best part of 6 months to overcome. At left back was Donald Watt signed from Shettleston; centre half was Billy Mitchell who had been signed from Raith Rovers in the closed season; new signing and latest goal ace up front was Ray Franchetti from Baillieston.
