Trivia

  • Double by Willie Kivlichan, who had signed from Rangers to Celtic only last year. He had previously scored a goal for Rangers in Jan 1907, in a 2-1 victory for Rangers.
  • Rangers' decision to double admission prices rebounded on them, for people stayed away or tried to break in illegally, needing police to stop them.
  • Celtic the better team with Eck McNair at right back the best player on the field
