Match report from The Scotsman, 15th October 1923
NO GOALS AT TYNECASTLE
If the Heart of Midlothian were nearer winning than the Celtic, there was little between the sides, and the goalless draw was a fair reflex of a game that was at its best during the twenty minutes that followed the interval, and at its worst in the remaining portion of the second half. There was little that was constructive in the play of either set of half-backs, but both were sturdy defenders, and the scoring chances that fell to either side were not many. The Celtic had the best attempts, and W. White put in a useful afternoon’s work in keeping his goal intact, a feat which Shaw would have had more difficulty in doing had either Welsh or John White accepted openings that came their way in the second half. It was these misses and their inability to home their slight superiority before the interval that were the chief factors in the Hearts’ failure to put into material form their better combination forward. Gallacher redeemed from mediocrity a disappointing Celtic attack. But for Gallacher, the Celtic forwards would have been singularly out of the game, and it was from him that the Hearts had most to fear. McNair played well at back. The attendance would reach 25,000.
