  • Season 1916-1917
    Season 1916-1917 The pre-season club sports days were very successful during World War One and always attracted decent attendances as well as the best athletes. In August The Scotsman reported that Roderick Walker, the former Heart of Midlothian full-back was awarded the Military Medal. He enlisted alongside his two brothers, John and Murray. Murray was killed in action and John was wounded. Rod Walker was a native of Buckhaven and made his mark in Fife junior football, and after Hearts he played with Portsmouth. Before the league matches began there were two matches played under the auspices of the "Ayrshire Red Cross Central Funds" on 12 August when Kilmarnock drew 1-1 with Queen’s Park and Rangers won 2-1 at Ayr United. The following Saturday Celtic began the season with a convincing 5-1 victory over St Mirren at Paisley with Patsy Gallagher scoring four of the goals. Rangers also had a decent start, winning 3-0 against Dundee. On 23 September Celtic reached the Glasgow Cup Final with a convincing 3-0 win over Rangers at Celtic Park in front of a massive 50,000 crowd. Clyde also booked their place in the final that same day with a 4-0 victory over The Glasgow Cup. Third Lanark at Cathkin Park. A close fought final was won 3-2 by Celtic. By the end of September Celtic led the table with full points from six games, with Rangers two points behind them but with a game in hand.

THE anthropomorphic habit of thought manifested in the polytheism of the Greeks and the mono- theism of the early Jews has been responsible, one supposes, for the familiar expression, "the body politic."

Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] The origins, patronage and culture of association football in the west of Scotland, c. 1865-1902 Matthew Lynn McDowell BA Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History, Scottish area Faculty of Arts University of Glasgow September 2009 ABSTRACT Rangers and Celtic Football Clubs, together known as the ‘Old Firm’, have received the lion’s share of attention given to Scottish association football in both scholarly and popular literature. During Scottish football’s formative years, however, the ascendancy of the Old Firm was far from set in stone. The exhaustive study of these two extraordinary organisations, therefore, greatly distorts our understanding of Scottish football’s Victorian origins. Both clubs were part of a far greater scene which included not only fellow ‘senior’, well-established clubs, but also any number of ‘junior’, ‘juvenile’ and non-classified football clubs, as well as fledgling associations which oversaw the regulation of the young game.

  • Season 1918/19 Was David Prophen Mclean, a Man of Many Clubs, but Playing with Rangers in This Particular Season
    Season 1918-1919 St Mirren FC. The season opened on 17 August with victories for Rangers, Celtic and Morton. These three clubs would dominate the final wartime season. By the end of September, Rangers had full points from their first seven games, with Celtic and Morton one point behind after these sides drew 1-1 in August. Rangers did not drop a point until the last game in October, when a 0-0 draw with Motherwell still kept them three points ahead of Celtic after ten games. By the turn of the year Rangers still led the table with 32 points from 18 games, closely followed by Morton and Celtic. Rangers won the Glasgow Cup on 5 October against Celtic. In an ill-tempered match, both Peter Pursell and Jimmy McColl were sent off by the referee G W Hamilton. After an intense year of fighting, the Germans having a final Spring Offensive and the Battle of the Marne, World War One came to an end in 1918, with the signing of the Armistice. The negotiations were carried out in Ferdinand Foch’s railway carriage headquarters at Compiegne. Kaiser Willhelm II abdicated on 7 November and three days later he fled to Holland, on the same day that the German Republic was founded. The fighting ceased the following day on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. The treaty of Versailles would officially end World War One on 28 June 1919. As the brave soldiers returned home, another horror was just beginning for them.
