Match report from The Scotsman, 12th January 1920
Clyde and Celtic met at Shawfield Park, Glasgow, before 18,000 spectators. The field was ice-bound and treacherous, and the players had great difficulty keeping their feet. Celtic, however, adapted themselves to the conditions much better than Clyde, and in the first half had slightly the better of matters. Near the interval McInally opened the scoring for Celtic. In the second half the play was very fast and even, but Celtic were more deadly at goal, and McAtee succeeded in scoring a second goal after Singleton had cleared brilliant from McMenemy.

Clyde at Home
Clyde occupied Shawfield Park for the first time this season, and their game with Celtic was made the occasion of the opening of the new grand stand, built to replace the one destroyed by fire a few years ago. During their temporary absence Clyde were indebted to the Parkhead club for the playing of their home games, and it was therefore appropriate that Celtic should be their guests yesterday. The game despite the tricky surface, was wonderfully fast and exciting. Clyde played pluckily, but the more experienced side prevailed and won on their merits. The feature of the game was a splendid display of goalkeeping by Shingleton who could have been excused had he lost six and not only two goals.
