Friendlies

For the third season running there were no league fixtures, and attractive 'friendlies' were becoming more difficult to arrange.

A dwindling fixture list saw only 11 'friendly' matches played during the season, although this included a creditable draw against Celtic and a match against Aberdeen which celebrated the opening of Pittodrie Park. In all 4 were won, 1 drawn and 6 lost, scoring 23 goals and conceding 34.
