Trivia

  • Back to the league after 3 matches v Morton in the Scottish Cup to solve the last round.
  • Pittodrie’s biggest crowd of the season saw a good game.
  • Sunny Jim was playing for the Scottish League at Ibrox against the English League, while Celtic Park housed a Hockey International
  • At Celtic Park on 2 March 1907, Scotland v Ireland in Field Hockey! No game on the day so Celtic Park hosted the match. Scotland earned a surprise draw v Ireland, which the Glasgow Herald report said was a great deal as “the Irish play is the embodiment of the highest ideals of the science” and it was expected that the Irish “would gain a substantial victory“. see link.
