FOOTBALL
SCOTTISH LEAGUE—DIVISION 1.
CELTIC 4 AYR UNITED 1
This match was played last evening at Celtic Park, before an attendance of 7,000.
After six minutes’ play, McGillivray opened the Celtic account, with a great shot. Five minutes later Merrie took advantage of slackness on the part of Kennaway to equalise. This success encouraged Ayr, who for a time kept play in home territory, and Kennaway had to save from McColl and Merrie.
After twenty-five minutes had gone McGillivray was brought down inside the penalty area, and Napier scored from the kick. Napier was prominent after the interval with two fine shots, and it appeared as if the home team, now that they had the sun and wind behind them, would soon increase their lead.
Celtic were almost continually in front of Hepburn, but they appeared unable to get in an effective shot. At this stage McLeod and Hepburn were the busiest men on the field, and they were alone responsible for stopping many likely efforts.
With ten minutes to go there was a fine bit of play in which A. Thomson was the chief actor. After putting the visiting defence in a tangle he gave the ball to McGrory to score.
Five minutes later Napier went through to score a fourth goal.
