QUEEN OF THE SOUTH OUTPLAYED
CELTIC'S SOUND VICTORY AT PARKHEAD
Celtic found it very easy to break Queen of the South's run of victories at Celtic Park. Prior to this game, the Dumfries team had appeared twice at Parkhead, and taken full points from Celtic.
The game was noteworthy from the standpoint that McGrory added three more goals to his record total, Crum and Murphy scoring the others, without any response from the visitors.
The Parkhead side opened strongly, and had gone on the lead three minutes after the start Crum taking advantage of a pass from Buchan, and shooting through a crowd of players past the unsighted Fotheringham. Seventeen minutes after the start, McGrory got possession well out, and, travelling on, shot well out of the visiting goalkeeper's reach from 12 yards.
Queen's attack were rarely seen to advantage. Bartram being seldom in touch with his wings and Lyon had an easy task with anything that threatened danger. Cummins was the only visiting forward of note and he was poorly rewarded for his good work.
Seven minutes after the restart, McGrory beat Fotheringham from close in, and two minutes later the centre secured his side's fourth, and his own third goal, when he applied the finishing touch to a lob from Crum. Queen of the South faded out and Murphy scored Celtic's fifth goal from 20 yards with a great shot two minutes from time.
The visitors gave a most unimpressive display, only Fotheringham, Allan, Savage, J. Anderson, and Cumming doing well. The Dumfries team seem to have neglected intelligent football for the more forceful methods, and their heavy-weight attack were a very easily subdued company, falling easy prey to the vigilant Celtic defence, who found their smart tackling successful against the slow-moving visiting forwards. Midway through the second half, the Dumfries team altered their attack and the improvement of Heywood in the centre, with Bartram at outside-right, was immediately noticeable. Cumming did put the ball in the net during an attack, but offside nullified the point.
Celtic were undoubtedly value for their win, and only Fotheringham's brilliance kept the score down. Foley again made an excellent substitute for Kennaway, and the defence seemed strengthened by the return of Geatons. Fagan, in Delaney's place was a moderate success, while McGrory, Buchan, and Murphy did well. Crum made a welcome return to form.
The attendance was 8,000.
