Ebenezer Owers was brought to Celtic in December 1913 and handed the impossible task of replacing the great Jimmy Quinn.

Owers moved to Parkhead on loan from Clyde where he had dropped out of the first team picture. Despite this Celtic manager Willie Maley believed Owers could do well leading the Celtic front line.

He certainly made a good start by scoring on his debut as Celtic defeated Third Lanark 3-0 in a league clash at Parkhead on December 6th. He continued to net frequently in the league as Celtic took the championship but a poor performance in the Scottish Cup final against Hibs saw him dropped for the replay and returned to Clyde.

By then Owers had scored 11 goals in 16 Celtic appearances.
