Charlie Gallacher turned out for Celtic against Hearts – but only because Johnny Divers forgot his boots! Bobby Murdoch (above) scored on his debut in a 3-1 win.

A crowd of 25,000 were at Tannadice for a Dundee derby, and United twice came from behind to Alan Gilzean goals to win 3-2. Walter Carlyle (2) and Jim Irvine were their scorers.

New centre-forward, Bobby Russell, hit five in Motherwell’s nine-goal firsthalf salvo against Falkirk, eventually winning 9-1.
