Report (The Scotsman?)
At Parkhead, in cold and changeable weather, in spite of which, however, there was a crowd of 8000. the ground was in a wretched condition on account of the snow. The Rangers played Johnston (Kilmarnock) for Mitchell. Neither Campbell nor Maley played for the Celtic. The Celtic started, and after an interchange in mid-field forced the first corner. The Celtic continued to have the best of it for some time. The Rangers, however, gave Cullen a hot one to hold. Haddow retired temporarily. The Rangers were taking more of the forcing and put in pretty combinations. McMahon brought on several characteristic runs. The play was interesting, but the pace was not. The state of the ground spoiled all. Honours were about equal. The Celtic scored by McMahon. McPherson had a chance at the other end. Celtic were having clearly the best of it. The Rangers missed a grand chance but equalised afterwards. The Rangers brightened up wonderfully towards the interval, and once nearly scored, Cullen being almost beaten. Haddow saved a certainty just before crossing over. Half-time found the teams equal. The Celts had had the best of the play. The Rangers did not seem to take it seriously. Immediately upon resuming, Madden failed to hold a long drive. The Rangers replied with a hot attack. The Rangers were now doing the attacking. Cassidy almost scored, and Celtic pressed amidst a snowstorm. The Rangers came away promisingly, but Reynolds staved off. Some feeling got into the play, but the referee acted judiciously. There was more of the final steam in it's play. Cullen saved a fine drive. Then play drifted back to mid-field, and afterwards to the Rangers' end, where the Celtic had twice narrow tries. Ten minutes to time Barker equalised. Cassidy immediately afterwards gave his side the lead. Doyle was in great form.
Final result:- Celtic three goals: Rangers, two goals.
