- Played in Ballybofey Co Donegal in aid of the Burtonport disaster fund, when 11 trawlermen were lost at sea in two incidents, before what is described as a large attendance.
- Was played with the fervour of a cup tie and unfortunately in incessant heavy rain in the second half.
- Drama near the end when Harps’ Hutton fires a penalty at Hunter in 87 minutes and then gives a penalty away and is sent off for protesting ! Roddy MacDonald’s kick is then saved by Harps’ keeper Murray.
- Jimmy Johnstone was Celtic captain on the day.
