Trivia
- Clyde's outside-left Johnny McCulloch opened the scoring in 20 minutes, then in 32 minutes Frank O'Donnell scored the penalty that had been awarded when McGrory was injured going through on goal. O'Donnell added a second goal after the break.
- On this day John Divers makes his first-team debut. In an understatement of major proportions, The Scotsman reports in typical understatement: “In the Celtic-Clyde game, which the former won by two goals to one, McGrory, the Celtic centre-forward, an aspirant for international honours, had the misfortune to break a bone in his ankle.”
- In the English League, First Division games, Arsenal defeated Derby County 4-2 to take the lead in the championship, being two points clear of Huddersfield, who have a match in hand. Defeated by Stoke City, Tottenham Hotspur have fallen further behind in the championship race.
- The Loch Ness monster has been seen again. It was learned in Inverness last night that while the members of the East of England Women's hockey team, which is on a tour in the North of Scotland, were making a round of Loch Ness on Sunday afternoon one of their number had a distant view of what she thought was an extraordinary creature in the loch, and from the description she had received, had no doubt that it was the monster. The lady is Miss Warwick, Peterborough, a well known hockey player.

TEN CELTIC MEN DEFEAT CLYDE
The meeting of the Glasgow East End rivals attracted a very poor attendance at Celtic Park yesterday afternoon, probably owing to the fact that little depended on the result. Celtic took the opportunity of introducing Divers, late of Renfrew Juniors, to League football. Wilson returned to his old position at right half, and McDonald occupied McStay's position as pivot.
Clyde were stronger than against Heart of Midlothian last Tuesday, with Summers, Johnstone, and McNaughton back in the team. With the wind favouring them, Celtic pressed almost continually, but failed at close quarters; while Clyde’s occasional raids always spelt danger. It was from one of these that the visitors opened the scoring. Kennaway was not blameless, as he misjudged Carroll’s cross, and was out of his goal when McCulloch sent in the ball which counted.
McGrory was unfortunate in not scoring on at least, two occasions, but his crowning misfortune came after he had returned to the field following an injury. The centre was going through when he was brought down twelve yards from goal. His ankle was injured, and he had to be assisted from the field. After the injured limb had been medically examined it was announced that a small bone in the player’s ankle had been broken, and that he will not be able to play again this season. This is most unfortunate both for his club and for the S.F.A. selectors, as McGrory was almost a probable candidate for inclusion in the Scottish international team to oppose England at Wembley.
F. O'Donnell scored from the penalty-kick following McGrory's accident, and the game became more lively.
Celtic resumed with ten men and in four minutes F. O'Donnell gave them the lead following a well placed corner by Crum. Celtic's four forwards played clever football, but their finishing was very poor.
Clyde’s wing men were always dangerous, and gave Kennaway many anxious moments, although McCulloch missed badly on one occasion with an empty goal at his mercy. Wood was a fine defender and the backs protected Stevenson ably, Summers particularly.
The home defence was sound, with McDonald prominent in McStay’s position; some of his leading out was really excellent.
Divers shaped well, but lacks pace, and H. O’Donnell was particularly prominent during the second half when the attack was under strength.
Attendance, 2,000. Scorers—Celtic, F. O'Donnell. 2 (1 penalty); Clyde, McCulloch.
