QUEEN'S PARK STILL WITHOUT A VICTORY
Queens Park failed to secure a first victory in their visit to Parkhead, Glasgow, where Celtic won by three goals to nothing.
The first half contained few thrills, and the improvement in the second half was very slight, only the goals by Celtic saying the game from being a very dull exhibition. Chief interest was centred around the appearance of Lyon against his old colleagues. The former Queen's Park player gave one of his best displays so far for Celtic, his confidence in tackling showing considerable improvement. His successor in the Amateurs' team was the outstanding personality in the visitors' ranks, and appears to be in his best position.
Celtic pressed from the outset, but despite erratic defending by Campbell and Dickson, were unable to gain any material advantage.
Morrison, who filled McGonagle's place, had a difficult task holding the Queen's Park speedy right wing, but he never gave in, and kept them well in check.
Dodds and McGrory had little scope from Cooper and Lyon. Delaney eventually turned the tide when he ran through to open the scoring in 18 minutes, and when the winger added a second six minutes later Celtic were well set for victory.
The game became very scrappy at that point, and petty fouls were numerous. Five minutes from the end McGrory headed the ball through from a cross from Delaney.
Souter, Dodds, Cooper, and Smith were best for Queen's Park, and Kennaway, Morrison, Lyon and Crum did well for Celtic.
The attendance was 12,000.
