CELTIC'S FIGHTING VICTORY
SEVEN GOALS AT DUMFRIES
The Queen of the South restored their fallen prestige at Dumfries by a sparkling display against the Celtic, and, although beaten, they were not disgraced. On the run of play they were unlucky not to force a draw. They played as good football as their opponents.
This was the Celtic's first victory over Queen of the South. Queen of the South opened the scoring at the end of six minutes' play by Renfrew, after neat play on the right wing by Anderson, who had the better of his tussles with McGonagle. The home men were unlucky soon afterwards, when a great shot by Cumming struck a post.
For a long time the Celtic attack could not settle down, and there was never a threat to the Queens' goal, Twenty-six minutes had gone when McGrory came to the rescue of the badly worried Celts with a surprising goal, a tribute to his opportunism.
Queen of the South did much good work afterwards, but Renfrew had not the speed to apply the finishing touch to the openings made for him by McKay and Cumming, who were the two best inside forwards in the game.
After 35 minutes, Celtic scored a second goal following another free kick. That was taken by Paterson, and O'Donnell had the credit of the goal. On the run of play, Queens should not have been a goal down at the interval.
On the resumption, the Celtic defenders were hard pressed, and Kennaway had a tremendous lot of work. When it seemed that the Queen of the South's persistence was bound to have effect, they met with disaster, when Savage gave away a penalty kick in dealing with an attack by McGrory. Paterson scored from the kick, although Fotheringham made a great effort and almost succeeded in driving the ball out.
The home side refused to give up, and they continued to attack. On one occasion McGonagle headed the ball away from under the bar at the expense of a corner.
The play was very robust for a time. Three players had their names taken by the referee.
Cumming at last scored a fine goal for the Queens after splendid half-back play by Fergusson , but later Buchan had a fourth goal for the Celtic after a brilliant attack by McGrory, who was at his best near the finish of the game.
With eight minutes to go, Tulip scored Queen of the South's third goal from a penalty kick, and in the later play Celtic found it no easy task to preserve their lead.
There might have been one of the biggest crowds of the season at Dumfries at this game, but the attendance was spoiled by the heavy rain which fell. The crowd numbered 6,500.
