Match report from The Scotsman, 1st March 1920
[…] At Celtic Park, Glasgow, the Celtic won on their merits against Hamilton Academicals. In the first half the Celtic were the superior company, and led at the interval by a goal, scored by Cassidy. After the interval the visitors gave an improved display, but they failed to get the better of the Celtic's strong defence. Near the finish the Celtic were awarded a penalty kick, which McStay converted. The Celts were without McNaiur and Cringan, but Gallagher reappeared after a long absence. The attendance would be about 10,000.

The Glasgow Herald – Mar 1, 1920
The inclusion of Gallagher barely compensated for the absence of Cringan and McNair from the Celtic eleven, but the Hamilton forwards were normally clever and ineffective, at a loss to circumvent a defence that took risks with impunity.
