Trivia

  • This was the Fourth Round Quarter Final stage. Montrose had done well to get this far having overcome The Duns and Queen of the South along their way.
  • In contrast, on March 1st, Celtic announced that all the regular first team players – with the exception of Willie Miller – and the Celtic Park staff were to become full timers for the club and were not expected to pursue a trade or career outside of the club.
