Trivia
- Celtic follow up their cup final win over Rangers with a fine victory over their other Glasgow rivals thanks in part to a fine first half hat trick from Joe Cassidy, assisted by an own goal by hapless Hugh Thom.
- The Glasgow Herald estimated the crowd at this match as 20,000 and adds little about the match other than to say that together with Rangers, Celtic are: “distinctly superior to their brethren” in the league. LINK
- The Glasgow Herald also reports a speech made in Wales by the Premier, Lloyd George in which he defends reprisals in Ireland and states that Ireland should never be allowed to get off with paying its share of the war debt and Imperial taxes.
- Again in the Herald is news of “Prince Charming”, The Prince of Wales being welcomed home at Buckingham Palace following his tour of Australia and New Zealand.
- Fannie Ward stars in the silent movie “The Cry of the Weak” at La Scala cinema Sauchiehall St.

Match report from The Scotsman, 11th October 1920
[…] Queen’s Park made a poor show at Celtic Park, Glasgow, where they were heavily defeated by the Celtic. In the first half the Celts were seen at their best, and the Queen’s defenders had a gruelling time. The half-backs failed to hold the Celtic forwards, who were in deadly shooting form. Fifteen minutes from the start, Thom, the Queen’s left back, in attempting to clear, put the ball through his own goal. Gallagher headed through a second goal from a well-placed corner kick, an before the interval Cassidy scored three grand goals, thus performing the hat trick. In the second half the Celtic eased up, and the play was more even. Eighteen minutes from the finish McDonald headed through the Queen’s only goal. The attendance would be 12,000.
