Few better or more thrilling games have been played between Rangers and Celtic than this one at Ibrox.
The football was of a high standard and the match was contested with tremendous keenness. No player spared himself. Celtic were unfortunate to lose, but account must be taken of the brilliant goalkeeping of Dawson, who may be said to have stood between Celtic and a victory. Others of the winning side who excelled were Gray, Simpson, McPhail, and Kinnear, but there was no failure.
This must have been Celtic's best display for a long time and the only fault was that the inside forwards did not risk a shot often enough. Delaney and Buchan were a splendid wing and Crum thrustful at centre. In a solid half-back line, Lyon was a power of strength in defence, and both Hogg and Morrison were consistently good in their clearing. All through the pace was fast. Buchan scored for Celtic after 14 minutes, and Smith equalised in 38 minutes.
There was nothing to choose between the rivals in a hectic first half, but Celtic's forwards forced the game strongly for periods in the second half, and time and again seemed certain to take the lead. Then from a free kick placed by Brown, the ball went nicely to McPhail, and he headed into the net out of Kennaway's reach. Until the end Celtic fought strenuously and cleverly to equalise, but could not again penetrate Dawson’s defence.
The official attendance was 65,000.
