CELTIC'S EARLY GOALS
DUNDEE BEATEN AT DENS PARK
Celtic's challenge for the Scottish League championship was mainly responsible for an attendance of fully 20,000 at Dens Park.
Celtic took the lead in 30 seconds, following clever work on their left wing. Murphy shot into Marsh's hands and the goalkeeper palmed the ball down, but before he could clear, Delaney, who had cut in from the right wing, tapped the ball into the net. It was an easy goal, but it did not depress Dundee, who for quite a long time were masters of the game, although in a somewhat rugged style. They lacked the quick ball control of Celtic. Murphy had a brilliant shot, which skimmed the bar, and following a corner kick, Guthrie headed over for Dundee.
The game continued to be evenly contested, until the thirty-sixth minute, when Celtic went further ahead. This was another easy goal, and all against the run of the game. Richards the Dundee left back attempted to pass back to Marsh, but his effort was weak, and allowed McGrory to accept a scoring chance. Dundee did not lose heart, and near the interval Kennaway made a spectacular but somewhat lucky save from Guthrie.
The second half was disappointing. Most of the play was in midfield, and the football was scrappy to the point of dullness. Kennaway had more to do than Marsh, and his clever saving was greatly admired.
