Glasgow Herald, Tuesday, 5th April, 1915.
Throughout the game the amateurs offered a stout resistance. In the first half they had an equal share of the play, and only the sound defence of McNair and Dodds prevented them scoring. Celtic attacked at the outset and after Kerr had saved finely from McAtee the Queen’s came into prominence near Shaw, Sibbald finishing a pretty forward movement by shooting narrowly over. Subsequently the young amateur had three good but futile efforts. Half- time – no scoring.
In the second period Celtic were the more aggressive. McMenemy after eleven minutes headed the first goal and shortly afterwards McColl from a pass by Browning added a second. The Queens replied strongly and Shaw had to save from Sibbald at the expense of a fruitless corner kick. The later stages were keenly contested, with Celtic having the better of the exchanges. The best forward movement of the game ended in Gallagher scoring a third goal.
