Match report from The Scotsman, 1st February 1923
EVEN GAME AT PARKHEAD
Wretched conditions, both overhead and underfoot, prevailed at Parkhead, Glasgow, where the Hibernians were the visitors in their postponed League engagement with Celtic. A steady rain fell, and the attendance at best would not exceed 4000. Despite the conditions, however, the game was by no means a bad one. Nor was it in any way onesided, although the Hibernians took the field without their usual inside forwards, Buchanan, Duncan, and Allan deputising. In the first half Allan was often seen dribbling and shooting, but the pace probably told. He was not so prominent in the second portion of the game, when Ritchie was the star, and through his grand work the Hibernians were due to play a narrow win. Hilley, the Celtic left back, had a bad time with the Easter Road internationalist, who on several occasions worked his way in, and gave Shaw more than one fright. All over, the Hibernian patched-up line did not so badly, though Walker might have made some more of his tussles with the veteran McNair, who much have found the heavy going very trying. So was it for all the players, of course, and singularly few mistakes were made. There was not a great deal in it, taking the game all through. McGinnigle and Dornan were a fine pair of backs, and both Harper and Shaw proved equal to all calls. In the end there was no scoring. There were several good attempts to find the net on both sides, and a good many which were wide of the mark. Accurate play, however, was scarcely to be expected.
