Match Pictures | Matches: 1942 – 1943

Trivia

  • Celtic & World War Two
  • And so ends Celtic’s awful year of 1942. The war has probably taken a turn for the better as the Desert Army “nightly pitch their moving tents a day’s march nearer home”, but still a long way to go yet. Celtic’s gloom is all-encompassing. and about to get worse.
  • At Easter Road in 1-1 draw, Jerry Dawson goalkeeper of Rangers was felled by a bottle thrown from crowd. Miscreant had to be rescued by police from an angry crowd.

Review

Dreadful display from Celtic, but Morton very impressive with ex-Celts Johnny Crum, Johnny Kelly, and a man who will become a legend in Dundee, Billy Steel
