I don't believe that this article is notable enough to merit inclusion. I know that there was a previous discussion about deletion, and the main argument for keeping it was that it was an SPL record victory. However, the SPL only existed under that name for 15 years, while the Scottish top flight has a history stretching back over 120 years. The Scottish top flight record was Celtic's 11-0 victory over Dundee in 1895. The Scottish top flight was rebranded again as the Scottish Premiership in 2013, and therefore the SPL no longer exists. The "record win" is therefore of even more questionable relevance than it was at the time of the previous discussion. The article itself is fairly short and doesn't provide much information about why the match would be considered relevant. Craig1989 (talk) 02:07, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No evidence of any lasting notability. – Pee Jay 10:22, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - it being a 'record win' or not is largely irrelevant, it simply has no general notability. Giant Snowman 17:36, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge: It is already mentioned in Scottish Premier League#Records and awards and thus a summary could be merged there. Praemonitus (talk) 19:16, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
