The Glasgow Herald, Mon 2nd March 1925
Keen play was seen in the earlier exchanges but Celtic early asserted themselves, and in 10 minutes McGrory beat Britton. Dundee made strenuous efforts to equalise but they were unsuccessful. The home side pressed after the interval Britton being repeatedly tested. In 10 minutes McLean added to Celtic’s score and McGrory secured the third goal. Another goal by McLean completed the scoring.

CELTIC’S SOUND WIN
Although without the services of W. McStay and Gallacher, Celtic were too fast and clever for Dundee at Parkhead, Glasgow, and fully merited their 4-0 victory. The keen tackling of the Celtic half-backs was too much for the Dundee forwards, who rarely mattered in the game. From the start Celtic took the game in hand, and with the forwards playing clever football the Dundee defence was soon in trouble. McGrory was full of dash, and in seven minutes he made the most of a pass from Thomson and opened the scoring. For a brief period the Dundee forwards had one or two promising runs, but the inside men failed to make the most of the good work of Knox and McDonald, and generally the Celtic were on top. That they did not increase their lead before the interval was due to the fine work of Britton in goal. The second half was even more one-sided, and after Britton had saved from Fleming, McLean scored a second goal, sending the ball through a crowd of players into the net. With twenty minutes gone, Britton stopped a tremendous drive from Connelly, but before he could clear McGrory kicked the ball into the net. The Dundee defence was overworked, but they held out until just before the finish, when McLean again beat Britton. The attendance would be 8000.
