The Scotsman, Monday 14th December, 1914
At Celtic Park, Glasgow, before 6,000 spectators, Celtic gained an easy victory over Queen’s Park. The Queen’s had the assistance of half a gale in the first portion, but made poor use of it, the forwards failing to control the ball.
The Celts were in their element, and from a well-placed corner Crone cutely slipped the ball past Kerr. This was followed by a second from the same player after grand work from McAtee.
The visitors had several raids on Shaw, but McNair and Dodds defended strongly. Before the change of ends Crone completed the hat trick, giving Kerr no chance with a great drive. In the second half the Celts, with the elements in their favour, had all the play, but twenty minutes elapsed before Quinn beat Kerr.
The Queen’s played on pluckily, and Laidman cleverly outwitting McNair and Dodds, gave Shaw no chance with his parting effort.
In the closing stages, Quinn completed the scoring by adding a fifth goal. The Celts victory was deserved on play, there being no comparison between the teams.
