Trivia
- Celtic & World War One
- Celtic are minus Johnstone, McNair and McMaster, and with Shaw having an off-day lose out to Clyde who have two players who would lose their lives in World War One, C. Clunas (2nd Royal Fusiliers), and T. Cranston (Black Watch).
- The Scotsman reports that Hearts are the only undefeated team in the First Division, and gives the result of the other Glasgow Cup semi-final as Partick Thistle 1 Third Lanark 0.
- The Glasgow Herald, which was noted for giving Celtic scant coverage, gives a larger than normal coverage to this defeat and their reporter even harks back to last seasons shock defeat of Celtic at Cathkin in the same competition.
- At this early stage of the war the newspapers still envisage a quick victory and the Glasgow Herald takes up this theme in an article telling of an entire wing of the German army in flight.

The Scotsman, Monday 14th September, 1914
GLASGOW CUP.
Clyde 2… Celtic…0
Clyde and Celtic met at Shawfield Park, before 12,000 spectators, in the Glasgow Cup competition. The game opened sensationally, Clyde being a goal up inside three minutes. Allan sent in a soft shot, which Shaw failed to hold. This reverse roused the Celts, and Crone almost equalised with a splendid drive, the post saving the Clyde. The Celtic held the upper hand. Their forwards showed fine football, but they failed to get the better of the home defence. On resuming, the visitors, although having most of the game, lost another goal. Allan was again the scorer, profiting by a slip on the part of Dodds, and beating Shaw. The Celts then played with great energy, but they failed to get goals.
