The Scotsman – Monday, 31st January 1921, page 4
Celtic, without M'Nair, Gilchrist, and Cringan, were too good for Aberdeen and won more easily than the score suggests. Playing with a strong wind in the first half, the Celtic were never far away from Anderson, but it was thirty-five minutes after the start before M’Nally succeeded in getting the ball past Anderson. Just before the interval M'Stay scored a second goal from a penalty kick. In the second half the Celtic more than held their own. The Aberdeen forwards made a. poor show, and were well held by the Celtic half-backs. M'Lean scored the Celtics' third goal, and four minutes from the finish Fisher scored Aberdeen's only coal. Attendance. 14, 000

The Glasgow Herald – Jan 31, 1921
Celtic likewise had a task well within their powers in meeting Aberdeen at Parkhead. The northern club were beaten by a Celtic eleven weakened through the absence of McNair, Cringan, and Gilchrist, and at no time during the game was their position seriously menaced.
