Review

Special Correspondent travelling with the Celtic party (strongly believed to be “The Man in the Know”) relays this article back to the Scottish Referee who reports it 14 June 1912.

The Article is not so much about the matches and more to do with the trip and the weather (probably his remit), that’s why it was first thought the writings where from the hand of Willie Maley.
