Trivia

  • Hamilton Academical defeat Celtic at home thanks to goals from Englishman David Wilson (arguably their greatest ever player), and Park, and though Jimmy Delaney pulls one back the visitors are victors.
  • Celtic captain and last week's penalty hero Willie Lyon misses a late penalty which would have given Celtic a share of the points.
  • The Glasgow Herald football roundup headline is "Celtic's Defeat Helps to Brighter League" and states that the champions incredible defeat was "not unpleasing"!
  • The P.M. today decided to pay an immediate visit to Hitler at Berchtesgaden where the German Chancellor is staying.
  • The Herald's Special Correspondent reports from Madrid which is under siege from Franco's troops.
  • Gas fire to heat the dining room for 25 minutes at breakfast time would cost "a frugal 1/2 d." according to an advertisement.
  • Astorias blended cigarettes are advertised at 1/- for 20, and a 2lb loaf of top quality wrapped bread at 4d.
