The Scotsman, 12 February, 1940
Clyde also scored a narrow win on their visit to Dumbarton, while Celtic, despite the apparent strength of their team, fell badly at home to Morton. Celtic now return to the bottom of the Western table, sharing the last position with Partick Thistle. Celtic have lost their traditional fighting spirit, and had no reply to a second half spurt by the Greenock side.
