Match report from The Scotsman, 8th January 1921
.
A crowd of 12,000 saw the game between Clydebank and the Celtic at Clydeholm. Rain fell during nearly all the game. Hard play was served up in the first half, during which both teams played well in the open but showed poor shooting. The custodians had little to do. A shot by Armstrong appeared to hit the inside of the net and come out, but Clydebank's appeal was disregarded, and at the interval neither team had scored. Twenty-five minutes of the second half had elapsed before McInally sent home a pass by McATee, and three minutes later McAtee scored with a high ball, which Morton might have saved.
Celtic also won by 2-0, against Clydebank on the latter’s ground, a result in keeping with form and with expectation. The absence through indisposition of three prominent defenders, McNair, McStay and McMaster, however, altered the outlook, and the success of the Parkhead side, under the circumstances was an outstanding performance.
