Celtic’s First Win
It is perhaps characteristic of Celtic that after playing three drawn games in succession they should choose Falkirk’s ground to register their first victory of the season for, whatever their failings, want of courage is not one of them. Yet in a way they were assisted by the lack of response shown by the home forwards, who, positively brilliant-in the outfield at times, appeared to lose all sense of control when they manoeuvred the ball into the region of goal. A cool head here and Falkirk might have made the points secure before their opponents had scored, for not once, but often had they the opposing defence, sound and steady as it was, in queer street. The Celtic five, with fewer opportunities, went about their work with a calculation which always made their presence a danger to the home goal, and it was no surprise that they not only scored first but snatched victory when the near approach of the finish made a draw appear inevitable. It was a very keen and exciting game throughout, although there were several incidents in the closing stages which might, without loss of credit, have been dispensed with.
