The Scotsman, Tuesday 14th April, 1914
Fully 8,000 persons were present at Parkhead, Glasgow when the Amateurs were the opponents to the cup finalists. Celtic, contrary to general opinion, only showed one change, viz, McColl substituting Owers at centre forward. Queen’s opened against a stiff wind and blinding sun, and immediately made for Shaw, Garvie testing the home custodian with a powerful drive, which was cleared.
Following this initial burst, Celts came away in a body, McMenemy netting after Kerr had partially cleared from McAtee. Quite a galaxy of corners fell to the lot of the home forwards but these proved abortive. It looked as if the Queen’s would never get out of the tangle, particularly when Gallagher and McColl both registered points. Celtic at this stage were easily superior, and even when McMenemy had to retire close on the interval, the pressure was not relaxed.
On return after the interval, McMenemy changed places with Browning, the internationalist evidently suffering from an ankle injury. As in the early stages of the game, Celtic at once became aggressive, Browning all but scoring with a great shot.
The Hampden team, however, were playing gamely, Morton showing great form, Shaw being lucky in averting a score by tipping a terrific drive over the bar. For quite a spell, play ruled evenly, but slowly and surely Celtic took the upper hand, peppering the visitors’ goal to some tune. McColl was leading the attack brilliantly, and on one occasion, when completely through was brought down within the dreaded area. Dodds took the penalty kick but failed to convert.
Still keeping up the pressure, the home pivot increased the Celtic lead with a neat header, McAtee adding a fifth a minute later with the best shot of the game.
