Match Pictures | Matches: 19071908 | 1907-08 League

Trivia

  • An expensive point dropped by Celtic who are challenging for the league title.
  • Turned out to be the last league point to be dropped by Celtic in the season, and Celtic would win the title by just 1 point ahead of Dundee at the end.
  • Elsewhere Dundee 2 Queen's Park 0 (at Ibrox), and Third Lanark 1 Rangers 0, so Rangers now more or less out of it and Dundee 34/50 and Celtic 30/45. So 6 points will do it, and 5 will be a play-off, one assumes.
  • Heavy month for Celtic, by the end of the month 12 games had to be played this month for Celtic.

Review

A poor game from a tired looking Celtic team. A few near things from McLean and Quinn, but no goals.
