Match report from The Scotsman, 28th September 1920
There was a crowd of fully 10,000 yesterday afternoon at Parkhead, Glasgow, where Celtic had a comfortable win over Third Lanark. The visitors, who were without the two Walkers and McCormack, were outplayed in the first half, and rarely got into touch with SHaw. The Celtic inside forwards played delightful football, but the shooting was not of the best. McLean headed the opening goal, and Gilchrist added a second goal following a corner kick. Third Lanark had more of the play in the second half, but the forwards were disjointed, and were easily held by the Celtic rear lines. McInally settled the issue by adding a third goal, the ball striking Steel’s foot on its way into the net.

The Glasgow Herald – Sep 28, 1920
Celtic repeated their Glasgow Cup triumph over the team from Cathkin, and by a similar score. The Parkhead half backs took a grip of the game at the start and never relaxing their hold, enabled the attack to be seen to more advantage than in the previous game. The losers never impressed forward, but put up a stout defence in which Steel and McAndrew played a conspicuous part.
