CELTIC'S NARROW WIN
At Paisley the Parkhead men won by 2-1.
All the finer touches of the game came from the Celtic, and they were unfortunate not to crown their efforts oftener than they did. There were other occasions however, when the forwards were at fault in their finishing, and F. O'Donnell in centre missed quite a few chances. He, however, got the Celtic opening goal. The other Celtic counter came from Divers.
St Mirren's goal was registered by McGregor in the second half, after McCabe had carried the ball along. St Mirren gave an improved show in this half, and did not allow Celtic so much of the ball. Still, when Celtic did get on the run they were always dangerous, and McCloy in goal, who turned out though injured, did well to save one or two fine tries, for he was evidently suffering pain when he moved.
The attendance was just about 6,000.
