CELTIC BEATEN AGAIN
Dundee’s Great Record
The visit of Celtic to Dundee was the feature of the League programme, just as the Cup contest between these clubs at Dens Park is the only second round game to arouse other than parochial interest. Neither club could afford to treat a League match as a minor affair, as an opportunity to indulge in a little sword play, as a preliminary to the deadly Cup duel. Dundee had a record of nine home League victories against the champions to uphold; Celts were aware that a tenth defeat at Dens Park meant the title changing hands. Much was hoped for by the visiting club from the transposition of McLean and McColl, by a renewal of the Dodds, McNair partnership, and the inclusion of McStay at half-back. These hopes were rudely and completely dispelled; neither of the transposed forwards scored. McNair and Dodds were concerned in an incident that cost their side a goal, McStay found Troup in unusually elusive mood, and the championship was made more secure than before for Rangers.
