Trivia
- The Glasgow Herald reports that the small majority of seven votes by which the Diall Eireann rattified the peace treaty signed at Downing Street in the early morning of December 6th causes much uncertainty. LINK
- The Herald also reports that the Bikaner Nautch dance performed for the Prince of Wales was rivalled only in grotesqueness by the Llama dance of the Tibetans seen in Calcutta.
- Also in the Herald a report of a speech at Central Hall Edinburgh, by Sec. of State for Scotland, Robert Munro KC in which he said he “worried at the disquieting tendencies which had developed since the war, and chiefly the love of pleasure”

Match report from The Scotsman, 9th January 1922
[…] All the thrills in the game at Celtic Park, Glasgow, between the Celtic and Third Lanark were contained in the latter portion, when the Celtic succeeded in getting two goals. After an indifferent start the Third improved, and were full value to be on level terms at the interval. Five minutes after the interval Gallacher, who had been Celtic’s most useful forward, beat Brownlie with a fast rising ball, and McInally got the second point following clever play by Gallacher. In the last fifteen minutes Third Lanark pressed strongly, but had no luck. Reid, who had the measure of McStay, made several fine openings which his comrades failed to turn to account. On the whole, however, Celtic were the more accomplished team, and deserved the points. The attendance would be about 10,000.
The Glasgow Herald – 9th January 1922
Celtic played a lot of pretty but ineffective football against a Third Lanark defence weakened by the absence of Orr, the regular left back. Neither side had scored at the interval, but Gallacher quickly put Celtic ahead after the resumption, and a second goal later from the home centre, McInally, settled the issue.
