Trivia

  • This was a specially arranged game to assess the fitness of players and sort out the team to face Aberdeen away in the Scottish Cup on Saturday. Celtic had played Aberdeen in the League on the previous Saturday and Tommy Burns had picked up a leg injury.
  • Tom McAdam, George McCluskey, Ronnie Glavin, Bobby Lennox and Mike Conroy were all involved.
  • Jimmy Lumsden at least got on as a sub at some point.
