Trivia
- Strictly Celtic’s first ever no score draw (a previous 0-0 with Queen’s Park in the Scottish Cup was a voided match).
- Celtic lost the league by two points, so this and the following match (a 2-2 draw with Vale of Leven) appear to have been costly in reflection.
- John O’Connor’s one and only league match for Celtic, his second spell with Celtic, only competitive game in this second spell. Left next for Notts Forest.
- Note: Questioned if John O’Connor actually did play in this match, and if it was actually a Celtic reserve player called ‘John Connor’ (see https://twitter.com/Jimmy_McColl/status/1361739033785872396 ). If correct, then John O’Connor never played in a league match for Celtic! Or was this reserve player actually the same guy? [TBC]

The Scotsman – Monday, 21st March 1892, page 5
Celtic v Clyde – In glorious sunshine, and in presence of a crowd of 10,000 persons, these teams played off their return league fixture. The gathering included Mr Michael Davitt, and Dr Tanner, M.P., who were received with great cheering. Mr Micheal Davitt performed the ceremony of kicking off, and the Clyde having lost the toss, he quietly slipped the ball to Sawers, the centre forward, bowing his acknowledgements to the crowd the while. The visitors were the first to show up, their attack being characterised by strong dashing play. Doyle and Reynolds were equal to the task of beating them off. The Celtic replied with a raid of the opposite end, where McCallum and Brady distinguished themselves on the right. Maxwell was equal to them, however. The play throughout the whole of this haf was very even, the Clyde giving as much as they got. The home side were minus Madden and Dowds, while Clyde were without McLaren at half-back. McInnes scored for the Clyde after thirty- five minute’s play, but he was adjudged off-side. At half-time there had been no scoring.. In the second half the play was quite as fast as that shown in the first portion. The Clyde showed surprising form. The Celtic shooting was well directed, but they were beaten by McCorkindale, when a goal seemed assured. Doyle, Kelly, and McMahon were closely watched, and they fairly excelled themselves. Towards the close the Celts should have scored, as they had all the best of the play. Victory was denied them, however, as at call of time they had failed to follow up their previous League victory. The result therefore was :- Celtic, nil; Clyde, nil.
