Trivia

  • Fifer, Jimmy Birrell opens for Celtic, but offside tactic being over-used and fouls galore spoil the Celtic v Clyde game as a spectacle.
  • Possible offside "goals" favour Celtic according to Herald.
  • Summer-like weather draws the crowds in England where 447,719 fans watch eight F.A. Cup games with gate-money of £29,893 taken.
  • The Scottish League is as good as won by Rangers and all there is to play for is second place.
  • The Republican Cabinet, headed by Dr Negrin, arrived at Madrid from Valencia and Madrid once again becomes the capital of Republican Spain.
