CELTIC AND ABERDEEN DRAW
It was early evident that neither the Celtic nor Aberdeen were going to take many risks in their match at Parkhead, Glasgow, but there was nevertheless plenty of good play seen and the result fairly well represented the run of the game.
Aberdeen were at full strength but Kennaway and McGrory were absent from the home side, Wallace and Dunn deputising.
The Celts went ahead inside five minutes, Crum receiving the ball from Dunn to walk round McGill and score. The home backs were able to break up the succeeding raids by Aberdeen, and the Celtic were, generally speaking the more dangerous side.
The Celtic increased their lead just before half an hour had gone, although it appeared as if Dunn was in an offside position when he received the ball to go through and score.
Aberdeen made strenuous efforts to improve matters, and, with their backs going upfield, were able to play the home attack offside on several occasions. It was no more than their due when Aberdeen scored shortly before the interval. Moore got the goal after taking up a pass by Warnock and beating off the opposition.
Aberdeen were prominent at the beginning of the second half, but the Celtic soon took a grip of the game. Twenty-five minutes of the second half had gone when Aberdeen equalised by Benyon, after Wallace had failed to deal properly with a shot from Moore, and until the end play was very brisk, without either team gaining an advantage.
Both Kennaway and McGrory were missed, but the display of both sides augured well for their chances in the Cup-ties on Saturday. The Celtic back play was very sound, McStay was quietly effective and the left wing full of running.
Aberdeen’s defence was robust, their halves were good, and of the attack Moore and Love the more prominent.
The attendance was about 8,000.
