CELTIC' S EASY WIN
ARBROATH CONCEDE FIVE GOALS
Arbroath were unfortunate enough to find Celtic in their best form at Parkhead, Glasgow, the home side winning by five goals to nothing.
Arbroath started off well, playing some good constructive football, and during the first half an hour there was little to choose between the teams. Celtic however, were better served in the inside forward positions. When Celtic's first goal eventually came after thirty-seven minutes it was due more to defensive slackness than to alertness on McGrory's part. The home centre was given all the time he required to gather a smart pass from Crum, and shot past Gerrard from 18 yards.
The visitors paid a few fleeting visits to Kennaway's end, and then Murphy ran from mid-field and shot from 15 yards. The ball rebounded off an upright to the foot of the ever-watchful Delaney, who had the easiest of tasks to score.
The second half had a sensational opening. Delaney was going strongly when brought down in the penalty area. From the resultant award Lyon gave the visiting goalkeeper no chance. That was the Celtic captain's first goal for the Glasgow club.
Arbroath were then a much inferior company, and with half an hour to go McGrory accepted a pass from Crum, and Gerrard was beaten for the fourth time.
Crum and Murphy were outstanding in the home attack. The inside left gave a masterly display, and his influence is noticeable in Murphy's steady improvement. The outside man capped a fine, afternoon's work by scoring Celtic's fifth goal direct from a corner-kick.
Gerrard, Duff, Lowe, and Cargill did very well for the visitors, while in a good Celtic team Crum stood out from the others.
The attendance was 10,000.
