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. Sad news arrived for Hibernian when their winger Robert Alexander had his career ended in an unfortunate work accident in October as his arm had to be amputated after he caught it in machinery.
