Trivia
- Jimmy McStay kept Sam English quiet, while Jimmy Simpson held Frank O'Donnell in check, and with the two centre-forwards restricted by their opponents the match ended in a no-scoring draw.
- Hearts beat Cowdenbeath 3-1 at Tynecastle yesterday (Monday), and are now fourth in the League table, being only three points behind Rangers, the leaders, who, however, have played one game fewer. Rangers, held to a draw by Ayr on Saturday, dropped another point yesterday to Celtic. Motherwell won 3-2 at Hamilton, and are now only one point behind the leaders.
- In England, Sheffield Wednesday beat Arsenal by three goals to two. Rain fell, and the players experienced some handicap on the heavy turf, but the football reached a high standard. Arsenal had the best of the early play, James putting in some of his cleverest dribbling and passing, while Hulme and Bastin revealed their best pace. Starling stood out with equal prominence in the Wednesday front line, and Rimmer was a, dangerous raider. Towards the finish Wednesday proved the more deadly in attack, and a beautiful shot by Ball won the match. The attendance was 65,345, a record for a League match in Sheffield.
- The Aberdeen trawler Venetia was wrecked off the coast of Kincardine yesterday, and went down with all hands. The trawler, which was returning to Aberdeen from the fishing grounds, struck a rock at Cowie Point, Muchalls, 4 miles north-east of Stonehaven, and sank before the crew—nine in number—could escape. All the men belong to Aberdeen.
- In an incident on the frontier of Manchukuo and China, Japanese soldiers fired on a Chinese town and then Japanese planes dropped bombs on it.

RANGERS HELD BY CELTIC
The meeting of these old-time rivals, Rangers end Celtic, at lbrox Park, Glasgow, was played in strong wind and on a heavy ground. The attendance was 42,003.
Credit is due to the players for the quality of football in the wretched conditions. The superior balance of the Rangers should have gained them victory, but they were foiled by Kennaway, who, although lucky at times, gave a great display. Hogg also played an important part in Celtic's partial success, his positional tactics and free, confident kicking being meritorious.
McStay subdued English, who never gave up trying. Fleming at outside left did not fit into the Rangers' front line. McPhail was the most powerful forward afield, and if one man could have won the game it would have been him.
The Celtic forwards had neither the snap nor the subtlety to overcome the Rangers defence. Simpson had Frank O'Donnell well held, while Hugh O'Donnell could not get going on the wing. R. Thomson and A. Thomson strove to give the line the snap that was lacking, and the danger to Rangers came from them. Napier held the ball too long, while, like the others, his marksmanship was faulty.
Gray and McDonald guarded Dawson so well that the keeper had only one shot to save. Brown was the best half-back afield, although Kennedy was not far behind.
