Trivia
- Celtic & World War One
- Making his Celtic first-team debut this day was Adam McLean, a rare talent thought by some club historians to be the greatest ever Celtic left-winger.
- Celtic’s 50-game long unbeaten run seemed to be in danger of ending as they trailed to a Hugh Cairney goal on the hour mark, but with 10 minutes remaining Sniper Jim shoots home an equaliser and the run is now 51-games.
- An article on page 8 of The Glasgow Herald warns that it would be wrong to assume that the Germans have stopped their “frightfulness” on land and sea. LINK
- The same newspaper carries reports of British gains on the banks of the Tigris near Kut-el-Amara.
