Trivia

  • John Reynold’s only goal for Celtic. A wit would argue on his goal that it was an Irishman that scored for Celtic, but an Englishman that scored against Hibs.
  • Notable player as he has the incredible record of being the first of just two players to have ever played both for and against England. He was capped for both England & Ireland.
