DEFEAT OF CELTIC
EARLY GOAL GIVES ABERDEEN CONFIDENCE
Aberdeen's victory over Celtic at Pittodrie Park was watched by about 20,000 spectators. They saw a well-contested game from start to finish.
It was an early goal, obtained by the centre-forward, Armstrong, four minutes from the start of the match, which gave the Aberdeen players the confidence which stood them in such good stead.
Ten minutes after the interval Ritchie Smith got another.
Celtic never got properly settled down to their regular game, and could do nothing against a resolute and well balanced defence. H. O'Donnell, their left-winger was the most conspicuous trier among their forwards, but his shooting for goal was far from perfect.
With Aberdeen assuming the aggressive for practically three-fourths of the match, Smith in the Aberdeen goal, was little troubled. It was Conwell, inside right, Armstrong, centre-forward, and Falloon, centre-half, who did most of the constructive work which resulted in the well-earned victory.
McGrory never got a chance to shine.
