CELTIC'S BOGEY
Celtic lost two points at Parkhead, Glasgow, to Queen of the South, which should have been safe in their custody before the referee's whistle had gone at the interval.
The visitors were really outplayed in every department except centre-half, but after 75 minutes the Celts were only one goal ahead. Delaney was the scorer just after the start.
With 15 minutes to go the Dumfries men got a chance and Tulip's first-time drive left Kennaway helpless, and the scores were equal. Four minutes later, from a Ferguson cross, Anderson nodded through a second goal, and so the "Queen's" maintained their reputation as Cetlic's bogey team.
The home men's defeat was no more than they deserved, as their half-back line was woefully weak, and of very little assistance either to the backs or to the forwards. Queen of the South are to be complimented for their grit in turning a seeming defeat into victory.
The visitors introduced Kerr and Gordon in place of J. Anderson and Culbert, and both reserves performed well.
The Celtic started as though they would sweep all before them, and only sterling work by Fotheringham and Allan kept them out. The Parkhead side kept up the offensive, and Alan did heroic work repelling attack after attack.
The Celtic started the second half as though they would consolidate their position, but the Dumfries men were alive to their chance, and Mackay was prominent with some fine leading-out work.
Cumming and McGinley changed places, and the centre should have scored immediately from a fine slip by Mackay.
The Celts seemed to have a sound claim for a "penalty" when Dunn was pulled down, but the referee ignored it.
The Celts' second-half collapse was inexplicable, as was also an apparent slackness in defence when the Dumfries goals were scored.
Kennaway, Hogg, and Murphy were good for the Celts, who will have to experiment further, and the visitors were good all over, particularly at centre-half where Allan was a tower of strength.
The attendance was about 5,000.
