Match Pictures | Matches: 1944 – 1945

Trivia

  • One match reporter, Alan Breck of the Evening Times, caustically wrote after the Queen’s Park match:
    I have never seen a Celtic team that depended so little on the arts of inside-forward fplay… these present-day Celts have no ball-play or combination… they beat a man by holding or pushing… I hope – with peace just around the corner – the Celtic people realise how much they have to do.”
  • Willie Cook (as in Thomson, Cook and McGonagle..) invalided home from India to Glasgow

Review

A win, but standard of football not high. Delaney out with flu. Malky MacDonald looked like the only player of Celtic class.
