Glasgow Herald, 28 Aug, 1916
Every now and again Celtic can be superlatively clever and yet singularly inept. Saturday provided an instance, and quite a time their supporters despaired of a goal. Of course the Hibernian defence was stubborn and tenacious, but O’Kane and his fellows made the creation of chances look easy and their conversion difficult. In the end the pressure told, and the Champions won with comparative ease. According to report, they are losing the services of McMaster, who has joined the Army Service Corps, and leaves for the South early in the week. A word of praise is due to Gordon, who reduced the elusive Gallagher almost to mediocrity, and to a recruit Miller, of Cambuslang Rangers, who showed a rare conception of the duties of an inside forward. McManus kept goal for Hibernian in the absence of Reynolds, of Fulham, about whom some controversy has raged, and concerning whose capture a certain amount of irritation exists at Tynecastle. Indeed there is talk of reference to the League.
