Wishaw Thistle v Celtic – At Wishaw. Both clubs were strongly represented. Groves kicked off and Wats immediately got the ball and passed to Linsday, who had an unsuccessful run up the field. About twenty minutes after the start, Dowds, with a fast shot, opened the scoring. Again the Celtic forwards bore down on the home goal, and in a few minutes Madden put on a second point for the visitors. In the second half the Celtic forwards took the ball up the field immediately on resuming, and Campbell, with a long shot from the left, put on goal number three in less that a minute. Madden soon scored another. In the excitement of the moment one of the Wishaw team afterwards kicked the ball through his own goal, thus raising the Celtic’s total to five. Wishaw pulling themselves together put on two goals, and the Celts also adding one to their total, the game ended :- Celtic six goals; Wishaw Thistle 2, two.
