Trivia
- Andy Lynch was out with 'flu and Tommy Burns takes his left back spot up again. Also back for the League game is Alfie Conn with Paul Wilson dropping to the bench.
- Roy Aitken is played at centre half as Johannes Edvaldsson is pushed into midfield.
- Motherwell play Jimmy Miller who was signed from QotS previously that day. He had played at Parkhead three days previously in the Scottish cup.
- Partick beat Rangers 4-3 only 24 hours earlier but Celts fail to take full advantage. Thistle had just signed ex-Celt Dixie Deans
- Celtic were drawn to face Dundee in the Scottish Cup Final.
- Hibernian became the first team to take on shirt sponsorship in Scotland.
Review
Motherwell fight back twice to earn a point although goalkeeper Rennie is their best player. The combination of Glavin and Craig impress again for Celtic.
