Match report from The Scotsman, 10th September 1923
QUEEN’S PARK OUTPLAYED
Although the Celtic had to wait until the second half for their goals, they never seemed in danger against the Queen’s Park at Hampden, Glasgow. Blair, the amateurs’ goalkeeper, rose gallantly to the occasion, and it was his superb saving in the first half that denied the Celtic tangible reward for their persistent pressure. After the interval, the strain on the Queen’s Park defence told, and McLean and Cassidy each scored for the Celtic. The Queen’s Park forwards were always well held, and Shaw, in the Celtic goal, had an easy afternoon. McAtee was in the Celtic forward line again, and that fact improved the play of the line. The attendance came to about 15,000.
The Glasgow Herald – Sep 10, 1923
Celtic were also amongst the victorious visitors, Queen’s Park falling before them at Hampden Park by two goals to none. Celtic restored the brothers McStay and McAtee to the side, and Queen’s Park included Dr Fyfe at centre forward and a new half-back. In both cases the changes were beneficial, Celtic showing resources and steadiness traditional to the side, and if Queen’s Park again encountered defeat, they nevertheless were a more impressive combination than that which fell to Rangers. Play was nothing like so one-sided as on that occasion and with Celtic only one goal in front until two minutes from the close, uncertainty and corresponding interest remained throughout the contest.
