Trivia

  • With the scores tied at two each, scored by Anderson and Murphy for the visitors and Duncan Ogilvie for the home side, Celtic snatch victory with a Frank Murphy goal in the dying minutes.
  • S.F.A. selectors watch Johnny Crum as a possible replacement for the injured Delaney at outside right in next week’s international at Hampden.
  • Crum has one cap from 1936 when he played against England.
  • Queen Geraldine and King Zog of Albania have announced the birth of a son and heir to the throne. The news was greeted by celebrations in the streets of Tirana but there is also concern at the reported intention of Ill Duce to annex Albania to Italy.
