The Scotsman, 5 Oct 1914
For the second week in succession Dundee were badly beaten by the Celtic. The game at Parkhead, which was witnessed by 10,000 spectators, was painfully one-sided. For ten minutes in the first half Dundee played very well, but after that the champions did as they liked.
Browning opened the scoring, and this was followed by a goal from McMenemy. The Celtic’s third goal, although of the lucky order, was quite value for play. Dodds drove the ball in the direction of goal, but McMenemy diverted it into the net past the waiting Balfour.
The second portion was a repetition of the first. The Celtic monopolised matters, the forwards giving a delightful exhibition of footwork. Browning scored a fourth goal, followed by one from McColl, and before the finish Browning scored his third and the team’s sixth goal.
Dundee were very poor. Balfour could not be blamed for the loss of six goals, as he received very poor support from Thomson and Aitken. The half-backs were very weak, and failed to support the forwards, who were very disjointed, Montgomery and McDonald were best of a poor lot.
The Celtic all over were grand, McMenemy and Browning being outstanding.
Glasgow Herald, Monday, 5th October, 1914
Celtic showed up in contrast to their Tynecastle and Ibrox rivals by taking six goals off Dundee, and so coming more into line with the leaders.
