Trivia
- A Monday afternoon game with Celtic staying in Arbroath after the Saturday game against Dundee. Celtic fielded an unchanged side.
- Though Bertie Peacock did not play he still had an important role. He went to see Airdrie take ion Dunfermiline and two nights later also went to see Clyde hand out a 6-0 defeat of Dunfermiline.
- Frank Haffey and Billy McNeill were in the Scotland side beaten 9-3 by England at Wembley on 15th April. Such was the effect on Frank that John Fallon expected to take his place in the Celtic team to play Dunfermiline in the Scottish Cup Final.
- Yuri Gagarin became the first man into space on 12th April.
Review
Dundee United's goal came when Mochan danced through a group of players and unleashed a 20 yarder which Haffey palmed out only to see Ormond latch onto the replay and score. This was after Celtic had had the better of the opening. With just eight minutes remaining Gallacher sent over a cross that the United defense left and GHughes headed home an equaliser.
Once more the team was wasteful in front of goal with Fernie and Chalmers working good openings but shots going astray.
