Match report from The Scotsman, 26th January 1920
Clydebank and Celtic attracted an attendance of 10,000 to Clydeholm, and the home club scored a fine victory. The Celtic were early on the defensive, and after Anderson had had what seemed a legitimate goal disallowed, Cringan, in attempting to save from McMillan, sent the ball past Shaw into his own goal. The Celtic could not make headway, and before the interval Anderson, with a low drive, clean beat Shaw again. Celtic reopened well, but the forwards were held and the West club was soon on the move. A fine drive by McMillan was saved by Shaw, and Anderson pounced on the ball and netted. Celtic protested, and after consulting the linesman the referee disallowed the goal.

The Glasgow Herald – Jan 26, 1920
Clydebank easily overcome Celtic
Two matches were decided in the League competition, and one of them went a considerable way towards deciding the championship. Celtic were fairly well represented at Clydebank, but their attack was unimpressive, their half-backs so unreliable as to enable the home team to establish a lead thoroughly deserved on play. As the Parkhead team will be engaged at Dundee in consecutive League and Cup encounters with Airdrieonians’ conquerors they will require to show considerable improvement on their latest display if either competition is to have further interest for a club that has often taken the highest place in both. In this connection it may be noted that several years ago the Celtic visited Dundee on consecutive Saturdays, were outplayed in a Scottish Cup tie, yet won by 1-0, were vastly superior in the League game the following week, and lost both points. Raith Rovers, like Celtic were indebted to their goalkeeper for a margin that only faintly represented their inferiority to Kilmarnock.
