Match report from The Scotsman, 26th September 1921
[…] Fine weather favoured the match at Dumbarton, and 10,000 spectators saw Dumbarton beaten to the tune of 5 goals by the Celtic. Play in the first half, up to the last seven minutes, was pretty even, with Dumbarton as likely a lot as their opponents. Seven minutes from the interval Cassidy let the Celtic centre, McInally, off, and he made no mistake with his shot at goal. Then Wilkinson failed to stop a fast ball from McLean, and goal number three, well led up to by McMaster, who was playing on the right wing, was got by McInally from close range. There was nothing like that difference between the sides. It was different during the second half, when the Celtic had matters pretty much as they liked. The fourth goal was got by Gallacher, following a movement in which the home defence was helpless. The fifth was scored by McLean, who returned the ball after Wilkinson had saved a great shot by Gallagher. Wood, McEwan, and Chalmers put in hard work for the home side, and the defence had a trying day of it.
The Glasgow Herald – 26 Sept 1921
Celtic’s decisive win at Boghead completed the last of three victories secured by visiting clubs. The big margin was severe for Dumbarton, who were not outplayed until perhaps the closing moments of the game, when their position was hopeless. The Celtic players showed marked improvement in shooting, and the return of McStay at left back appreciably strengthened the defence.
