Trivia

  • George Ferguson came in for Jimmy Mallan who was recovering from broken ribs sustained in the previous brutal away game against Hearts.
  • Celtic’s only win this month; only match in which Konrad Kapler won out of nine matches played with Celtic’s first team.
  • Match won with a penalty by Corbett (55mins)
  • Philip Gormley‘s debut & sole appearance for Celtic’s first team.
  • Celtic so lowly that in the Herald’s football round-up on the Monday, that despite finally winning a match, there was no mention of Celtic in the notes! Only in the scores round-up. Yet the paper still managed to cover a multitude of rugby matches, golf and Indian & Barbados cricket!
