Trivia
- When Nicholas scored Celtic's third shortly after half time the Morton chairman Hal Stewart was still having refreshments downstairs in the board room.
- When he returned he thought it was still 2-0 so when Cochrane scored Morton's second goal in 86 minutes Hal thought it was an equaliser and was devastated to be told of the Nicholas goal.
- On the same day Celtic defeated Morton 3-2 in a Reserve League match at Celtic Park. The Celtic team was Latchford, McStay, Reid, Weir, Duffy, Casey, Buckley, Crainie, Douglas, Burns, Halpin. Subs Donaldson (McStay), Moyes. The Celtic scorers were Crainie, Reid (pen), Buckley.
