Match report from The Scotsman, 3rd April 1922
[…] About 15,000 spectators saw Queen’s Park make a good fight against Celtic at Hampden Park. Queen’s were early aggressive, and scored through Templeton, but Cassidy levelled matters before the interval. Another goal came from Cassidy after the interval, and Queen’s fell away slightly, but still retained hopes of equalising. Celtic, however, never looked like being beaten, and Gilchrist put the issue beyond doubt with a third point.
The Glasgow Herald – 3 April, 1922
..Celtic, only now six points dividing the rivals. Against Queen’s Park the leaders gave one of their best displays, their forward work being particularly fine. The amateurs scored first, and throughout made a creditable stand against their more experienced opponents, but they lacked the judgement and finishing power of the winners, for whom the two International players, Cringan and Gilchrist, were prominent, the latter scoring the third goal for his side.
