Trivia
- The Glasgow Herald continues its habit of calling Patsy 'Gallagher' and just before half-time it is he who secured the first points after World War 1 for Celtic. The Herald also states that an Aston Villa half-back (Tom Barber) is playing at outside-left, whereas Celtic list him as inside-left. LINK
- The same edition of the Herald announces the dissolution of parliament in perparation for the general election.
- Also in the Herald is a report that the Seamen & Firemen's Union had blocked M. Camille Huysmans from embarking on a ship for Boulogne.
- The Herald reports that British troops landed near the Galata Bridge, Constantinople and marched up the hill to Pera with their band playing "Take me back to dear Old Blighty".

The Glasgow Herald – Nov 25, 1918
THISTLE AGAIN FAIL AGAINST CELTIC
The hopes of Partick Thistle, based on a long immunity from defeat, were further raised by an inspection of their rivals’ front rank which bore an unfamiliar appearance with an Aston Villa half-back on the left wing and Corcoran partnering Gallagher for the first time. There was every prospect of the Firhill team gaining their first League victory over the ex-Champions as thus represented, or at least of sharing with them the honours of a drawn game. The perseverance and opportunism of Gallagher denied Thistle even a modified success; a characteristic goal from that player deprived them of a point thoroughly deserved on general merit.
