BIG WIN FOR CELTIC
CELTIC, 7; COWDENBEATH, 0.
Cowdenbeath's prospects received a further blow when they were trounced in a First League match by Celtic, at Parkhead, last night.
From the opening minute there was never any doubting the superiority of the Celtic, whose teamwork, with Napier and Thomson again in the forward line, was irreproachable at times, and a burst of scoring after ten minutes play soon settled the issue.
Actually four goals were scored in the space of eight minutes and five before the interval, by Napier (three), McGrory; and O'Donnell, and though two of the first-named's scores, came from-penalty kicks, they were well deserved, as Gronbach averted certain counting efforts when he conceded them, first by bringing down McGrory, and, secondly, by fisting clear.
Celtic also pressed steadily in the second half without showing much thrust until McGrory scored twice in quick succession from close in from crosses by H. O'Donnell.
In the easy-moving Celtic team, Napier was the strongest forward, and McStay was a forceful pivot, besides breaking up the majority, of the raids by the Fife team, for whom Gronbach and Priestley alone showed up well, the former at right back, putting in some fine kicking.
There was an attendance of little more than9,000.
