Trivia

  • Celtic's first ever Ne'er Day Glasgow Derby game v Rangers at Ibrox.

  • Credited as a 'holiday match'.
  • One report stated: "This holiday match, has all the appearance of an annual institution".
  • Celtic winning to set the standard.
  • Ne'er Day (New Year's Day) Derby
  • Celtic's third goal was via a calamity goal by the Rangers goalkeeper, who missed the kick on the ball which then trundled into the net. We're sure this made plenty of people laugh/cringe.
