VICTORIES FOR LEAGUE LEADERS
Both the Rangers and the Celtic had wins on Staurday, when play in Scotland was carried through on frost-bound grounds. [...] The Raith Rovers-Celtic match at Kirkcaldy before 13,000 spectators, opened in a promising manner both teams playing a high standard of football. After the Celtic scored their second goal, however, the play of the Raith Rovers deteriorated, and the Celtic won comfortably in the end. Several of the Raith Rovers' regular players had to cry off, but, notwithstanding this handicap, the Kirkcaldy team played remarkably well. Two of the Celtic goals were attributed to McAtee. For the home team Duncan played well in the front rank, but the half-back line were the mainstay of the team and played a fine spoiling game. The backs were poor. The scorers were McAtee, McInally and Cassidy. McNair was an absentee from the Celtic ranks.
