HIBS DEFENCE WEAK
A rearranged Celtic side had a smart win over the Hibernians at Parkhead last night, when clever close passing in the outfield found loop-holes in the Edinburgh team's defence.
McGrory, without being in his old-time form, was in menacing mood, and opened the score in fifteen minutes by taking a pass from Buchan on the run and shooting successfully from fully 25 yards out.
The Celts continued to dominate play, but they were held until just on the interval, when a certain scoring effort by McDonald, following a bewildering dribble, was diverted by a hand, and Morrison deputising for McGonagle at left back, scored from the penalty, kick.
Five minutes after the resumption Delaney scored a third for the home team from the outside-right position, and although Moffat and Flucker both had good tries for the Edinburgh side, McDonald completed a clever movement near the end to give the home men a flattering win.
The young Celtic team did quite well however, particularly McDonald at inside-left. Napier figured at right half-back, but naturally showed strangeness in the position. The Hibernians would have had their usual sound defence had Blyth not been shaky in goal. Wilkinson and Watson were both good defenders and Egan an enterprising wing half-back.
But the Celtic “never-say-die " chasing of the man in possession and the speed of youth counted for a lot against a side whose inside forwards failed badly.
