The Glasgow Herald, Monday 7th February 1916
ANOTHER CELTIC RECORD
The Celtic had little difficulty in repelling Aberdeen first half efforts to beat Shaw and thereby make amends for the Cathkin debacle. Afterwards it was a case of the Champions scoring at will and, without unduly exerting themselves, the leaders pulled through by a record score, for never before have Celtic scored four goals at Pitoddrie. Yet, while making one more record, the Celtic were also showing consistency, for since losing to the Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle on November 13 they have scored not less than two goals in each of the 13 matches since decided, thus, 2, 3, 6, 4, 4, 6, 2, 3, 2, 3, 4, 3, 4, and lost but one point – to Rangers, on New Year’s Day – under circumstances which will form a subject of discussion long after the championship has been decided for another season. And unless the leaders develop unwanted weakness in some of their remaining engagements, the destination of the League flag is already assured.
