Trivia

  • One sided game.
  • Peter Somers has now left Celtic and gone to Hamilton Accies.
  • General Election now in full swing as Liberals seek mandate to get Budget through House of Lords. It will last until mid February.
  • Last game against Port Glasgow Athletic, who go out of business in 1911. Their club was nicknamed “The Undertakers” – the reasons for this are somewhat confused. One explanation is the involvement of a local funeral director in the founding of the initial side or, more likely, they were known as the Undertakers because they played in black and white.
