Match Pictures | Matches: 19071908 | 1907-08 League

Trivia

  • Falkirk "swarming with green and white favours", but this draw gives Falkirk deserved second place in League
  • Willie Semple's second goal for Celtic, and it was important as Falkirk were to come second in the league just four points behind Celtic at the final tally, although the league had really been just been won by this time following a win over Ranger in the previous match, but helped to cement Celtic's right as champions for the season (the match was the second last of the season).
  • Celtic had just completed domestic double of Scottish Cup & league.
