Celtic v Third Lanark 08/05/1926

[Alan Brown]

Would anyone be able to assist me with both teams line-ups for this match. The Glasgow Herald is not available on google newspapers for this date. As usual any help would be much appreciated. As an aside, would anyone have contact details for J.I.Hestnes (Vestnes, Norway) who wrote the book 'Scottish League and Cup Football 1890-95'?

Due to the General Strike of course. In some respects I'm actually impressed the various Charity Cups continued - I do notice the Scotland v Wales schools international due for Aberdeen was postponed.

Celtic: 125 Years of Competitive Matches gives their XI as:

Shevlin, W McStay, Callaghan, Wilson, J McStay, McFarlane, Connolly, Thomson, McGrory, McInally, McLean

Life & Death of the Hi-Hi doesn't give game-by-game lineups.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure if there was a daily record printed that day due to the strike but there was a Scotsman, although no line ups in there.
