Trivia

  • Newcomers Hugh O'Neill at centre-half and Oliver Anderson at inside-right showed promise, as did the other debutant, Derry-born reserve goalkeeper John Doherty, but the flint hard pitch made play a lottery and Celtic had no one to match the diminutive Christie who scored the game's only goal.
  • Robert Duffy returns to the side for his one of only two appearances in whole season.
  • Queen's Park end run of seven defeats with win over Celtic putting Rangers nine points clear of Hearts.
  • Suggestion to make Old Firm games all-ticket after Monday's crowd problems.
  • St. Johnstone game abandoned for ice and snow.
  • The Republicans in Spain admitted that Nationalist troops of General Franco's force have attacked with great force about 38 miles north-west of Tarragona.
