| CELTIC 1 EVERTON 0 October 22 1900. The Liverpool Mercury T Booth penalty kick saved The Everton Football Club had an off day, so far as league football was concerned, and the gap was filled with an engagement at Parkhead, against the famous Celtic Club. Both teams were at their full representation, as will be seen from the following list of players. Everton: – Muir, goal, Balmer and Watson backs, Wolstenholmes, Booth, and Abbott, halfbacks, Sharp, McDonald, Proudfoot, Settle (captain), and Turner forwards. Celtic: – McArther goal, Wilson and Battles, backs Russells, McNeill, and Lonte halfbacks, Gray, Campbell Divers, McMahon, and McCostra, forwards. The Celtic opened the game but were at once forced to take up a defensive attitude and for some time the Evertonians quite held the position. McArther saved several good shots and the backs were also successful in meeting many ugly rushes on their charge. Eventually one of the home backs came under the notice of the referere, who awarded a penalty kick . This was entrusted to Booth and McArther rising again to the occasion, prevented the shot from taking effect. Immediately afterwards the ball was at the other end, and Muir was kept busily employed. The Everton backs eventually cleared, and once again the visiting forwards were in possession, but could not score. Half time Celtic nil, Everton nil. On resuming the visitors continued to have the better of the play, but encountered stubborn resistance in McArther, and the backs. Play became more interesting and eventually Gray from a free kick, scored the only goal of the match, the final being Celtic 1 goal Everton nil. |
