DUNDEE DRAW AT PARKHEAD
The miserable weather conditions affected the attendance at Parkhead, Glasgow, where only some 6000 spectators were present. Those who braved the elements witnessed a fast and keenly-contested game between Celtic and Dundee, and a draw was a fitting result. Both sets of forwards displayed clever footwork, but the defences proved too strong. Dundee early settled down, their right wing being very dangerous. Knox sent across several dangerous balls, but Halliday got few chances to test Shaw. Near the interval the Celtic forwards made strong efforts to get on the lead, but their finishing was weak, Thomson twice sending wide when well placed. Celtic were seen more in the game during the second half, but although they swarmed round the Dundee goal at times they could not get the better of Brown and Gilmour, who were playing very steadily. Fotheringham saved well from McLean, and shortly after a shot from Cassidy struck the under side of the bar and rebounded into play, a claim by Celtic for a goal being refused. For Celtic, McNair, W. McStay, Gallagher, and Cassidy were best, and both backs. Rankine, Ross, Knox, and McLean were outstanding for Dundee.
The Glasgow Herald, Mon 19 Nov, 1823
The only drawn game was at Celtic Park, where Celtic and Dundee failed to score. The respective centre halves, W. McStay and Rankin, were the dominating personalities in a dour game in which Celtic had a slight pull forward.
The opening stages favoured Dundee, but they failed to penetrate the Celtic defence, and were afterwards driven back. The opposition were no more successful, the home defence being very steady. Celtic were prominent in the second half, but again the defence was too good for the attack, and there was no scoring on either side.
