Trivia

  • Glasgow Charity Cup Final

  • Celtic lost cup final game on toss of a coin after honours even at end of 90mins.
  • No Jimmy McGrory.
  • A very windy day apparently
  • Rangers had won all honours this season past.

Review

To lose a cup by the toss of a coin was a bitter pill indeed for the Celtic fans to have to swallow.

Old school football could be bizarre.

Penalty kicks as a decider didn't really become established into the game until far later in the 1960s.
