Trivia

  • Played at Barrowfield Park
  • This one needs more work or a bit of luck as only 5 of the 7 Celtic scorers are known.
  • Some reports credit Doyle as scoring Celtic’s 4th goal from a free kick but direct free kicks were not introduced until 1903. The included report indicates that the Clyde goalkeeper (Henderson) “made a bad attempt to save” Doyle’s free kick. On that basis, Henderson is credited with an Own Goal.
