Severe rioting by Celtic fans during the game led the Lord Provost of Glasgow,Sir Patrick Dolan,to state, ' The Chief Constable has powers to prohibit games between Celtic and Rangers until the end of the war,and i have informed him that if he cares to exercise that power,he will have the support of all citizens'.

Rangers' 2-0 win over St Mirren was a hard fought victory as they had to overcome what the press described as a nine-man defensive set-up from The Buddies. Willie Johnston got the opening goal with a header from a John Greig cross and moments later the lead was doubled though a Provan penalty
