The Glasgow Herald – Jan 28, 1918
RANGERS AND CELTIC EQUAL IN POINTS.
As Ayr United shared the honours of a goal-less draw at Ibrox a few weeks ago, and Airdrieonians defeated Celtic at Broomfield Park, it was expected that the return fixtures would yield one point at least to the leaders, and nothing to their nearest attendants. The expected did not happen; Celtic had to rest content with a draw, after leading and being led; Rangers found the Ayr forwards normally incompetent, and had just sufficient latent energy to force a favourable decision in the last fifteen minutes. On goal average the Ibrox club takes first place, and if the team continues to wage and uphill fight as successfully as against Queen’s Park and Ayr United it will take a permanent in something more substantial than decimal points.
