Celtic v Third Lanark – played on the ground of the former in the presence of 8000 spectators. The ground being frost-bound, the referee declared the Glasgow cup tie off, and a friendly was played instead. Mucken kicked off, and a fine run by M’Mahon was stopped by Thomson. After a few midfield exchanges the Third shot past. Miskicks were frequent on both sides. From a piece of sustained pressure by the Celts the Third’s goal almost fell. Good tackling by Love let the Third away, but nothing resulted. The Celts now lost a good chance by weak shooting. Campbell and M’Mahon bothered Lochhead, and Thomson could not find an opening. Splendid work by the Celts was spoiled by Maley shooting over. The first goal fell to the Celts from M’Mahon. Turnbull next scored for the Third. Half-time result :- Celtic, two goals; Third, one goal. On resuming, the Celtic scored again, but the game was a farce, the players treading the dangerous ground gingerly. Open play followed. Result :- Celtic, three goals; Third Lanark, two goals
