CELTIC'S SUPERIOR BALANCE
QUEEN'S PARK GO DOWN FIGHTING
Only the superior balance of the Celtic forwards enabled them to turn the issue against Queen's Park, who were more skilful and resolute at back and half-back. Celtic's forwards were a cohesive body, and played some delightful football on the wings, particularly Delaney and Buchan.
Queen's Park's forwards played a more open game, and could be quite as dangerous, but neither Dodds nor Martin was at his best, and that made all the difference. Had they come up to the standard of the other three, Queen's Park would not have been beaten. Dickson was the best back on the field, and the amateurs were superior at half-back, where Gardiner did great things in defence. The fact that McGrory scored two of Celtic's goals was no reflection on the Hampden pivot.
Queen's Park took the lead after five minutes, where Dodds beat Kennaway with a well-judged shot. A resolute Queen's Park defence prevented Celtic equalising at half an hour, and then McGrory headed through a good goal. It was McGrory, again, who gave Celtic the lead four minutes from the interval. Kyle equalised 19 minutes after the re-start direct from a free kick, but two minutes later Murphy restored Celtic's lead, which they held to the end of an exciting tussle.
Attendance, 12,000.
