notes

TCM (our discovery source for this match!) reports that it was 3-1 to Celtic and that McFarlane netted a brace. The contemporary source for that claim is not known to us, but 2-1 is reported in GH/DR/EEN/GLO, with just a single goal for McFarlane, so we go with that majority view.

Match Report

TTA report

This midweek fundraiser was played at the home of Cambuslang Rangers, for the benefit of the local unemployed and was very well supported by the local community who were entertained by some big names, not least of which was the 41-year-old Jimmy McMenemy, a hero to both clubs, making his last appearance for Thistle. The only sour note was Celtic's left-back - Jimmy McStay - fracturing his nose.
