The Glasgow Herald – Sep 29, 1919
A Celtic Rally
At Parkhead, Celtic were also a goal behind with only 17 minutes left to make up the deficit, fortunate at that to have the Clyde centre forward miss an open goal, and then stun a prostrate goalkeeper with a shot at close quarters. The home forwards were given many opportunities to forestall Morris as a goalscorer, but they either shot badly or squandered precious openings by intricate and unnecessary passing in front of goal. Faced with a defeat to which they had liberally contributed, the Celtic adopted more sensible tactics. Their forwards passed less and shot better but were no nearer to success than before, for Shingleton was equal to the many calls made upon him until a long fast drive from McInally put the teams level. Clyde had one more chance to regain the lead and did not take it. With Dodds badly crippled and McNair showing signs of nerves for about the first time in his career, the capture of Shaw’s goal was an easy matter, but it proved beyond the Shawfield forwards. They never again approached midfield, except to kick off from centre, as a result of McInally twice beating Shingleton. A penalty and a placed goal only faintly represented the tremendous pressure applied by the home forwards in the last ten minutes. The Celtic have a victory and a lesson that should prove of incalculable value in future engagements. They will not again underestimate the opposition and treat it so lightly.
