CELTIC'S EASY VICTORY
Celtic had a convincing victory over Clyde at Shawfield Park, Glasgow. Throughout the game the Parkhead side played with complete confidence, and at no stage were they in danger of defeat. Their defence was never at a loss how to counter the attacks of the Clyde forwards, while the half-backs and forwards, although they were rearranged early in the game owing to Lyon’s injury, had a perfect understanding.
McGrory gave an inspiring lead to the attack, and, along with Delaney and Crum, gave the Clyde defenders a busy time. The home side disappointed badly. They seemed to be suffering from the effects of their midweek cup-tie, and never settled to a steady game. The defence was easily beaten, and, though the half-backs worked hard, their task was made heavier by the failure of the forwards to make the most of their chances.
After a quiet start, Celtic gradually took command of the game, and in 18 minutes a pass from Delaney gave Crum an opening to score the first goal. The play following this was very even, but the Clyde forwards failed at several good openings. Just before the interval Kirk used his hands to keep a header from McGrory from entering the net, and from the penalty award Buchan put Celtic two goals ahead.
Celtic were clearly the superior side in the second half, and in 11 minutes Lyon sent the ball across for McGrory to beat Wood, and then shoot into the net. With 14 minutes to go. Hughes, from a free kick outside the penalty line, scored a fourth goal, Brown being unsighted and making no effort to save.
The attendance was 20,000.
