The Scotsman – Thursday, 9th March 1933, page 15
CELTIC NOT CONVINCING
There was a crowd of 24,000 at Parkhead, Glasgow. Two minutes after the start, Celtic were fortunate in not being a goal behind, when Wallace failed to catch a pass back from Wilson, and the ball seemed to be over the line before he got his hands on it. This escape sharpened Celtic up a bit, and after eight minutes, they took the lead, Napier scoring from a penalty kick. Seven minutes later McGrory presented A. Thomson with a fine opening, which the inside right took full advantage of, and put his side further ahead. This success appeared to give the home team plenty of confidence, and they proceeded to bombard Connelly's charge, without, however, adding to their score.
Rather unexpectedly, Rovers were the next to score, when Waddell kicked hard towards goal for Renwick to send the ball into the net with the back of his head.
The second half was not long in progress when Celtic went further ahead, Napier finishing a brilliant bit of play with a shot from 20 yards which beat Connolly.
The Rovers, although outplayed, kept on pluckily, and had hard luck on more than one occasion. McGonagle saved on the line when Wallace was well beaten. Had the Coatbridge forwards finished better there might have been a surprise, but they failed badly in front of goal.
Celtic although worthy winners, were not a good side, the old fault of over-elaboration being present. Their half-backs, particularly McStay and Wilson, were first class, and the backs were sound, but Wallace was not too certain.
The Rovers' defence was the best part of their team, the forwards being weak, only Renwick showing enterprise, but he had little support.
