CELTIC'S RETURN TO FORM
Celtic beat Stenhousemuir at Parkhead yesterday in their replayed tie by two goals to nil.
The champions showed an all-round improvement on last Saturday's display, although there was a slight weakness on the left side of the attack. McGrory's display was particularly heartening, as, in addition to scoring both his side's goals, he was very eager, and led his line well.
The ex-Hibs' goalkeeper, Hill, had a great match, his saving it times bordering on the miraculous. The other star in the visiting side was Brown, a stalwart defender, who played a strong game, although visibly tiring towards the close.
The Second Leaguers were by no means outclassed, and caused considerable concern before McGrory scored in 29 minutes, the centre smashing a corner kick by Murphy past Hill.
Murray led an attack on Kennaway's charge, and almost equalised with a smart header.
Seventeen minutes after the restart Patterson sent a free kick into the goalmouth, and McGrory headed it into the net.
Hill, Brown, Clark, and Murray were best for Stenhousemuir, and Hogg, Lyon, and McGrory were Celtic's best.
The attendance was 8,000, and the receipts £504 (exclusive of stands and tax.)
