Glasgow Herald, Monday 15th February, 1915
Little good football was shown by either side during the first half at the close of which Celtic led by a single goal scored by Gallacher. It was a distinctly doubtful point as McColl seemed well offside before his colleague received the ball. The second period was full of excitement and dash, but contained little clever play. McColl, after a fine solo effort increased Celtic’s lead to two clear goals.
The Scotsman, Monday, 15th February, 1915
It was a surprisingly poor game a crowd of some 10,000 people saw at Greenock. Morton were expected to run the Celtic very closely, but as events proved the Celtic scoring a goal in each half through Gallagher and McColl, won fairly comfortably. A troublesome wind interfered with accurate play, but the Greenock men did not rise to the occasion, the forwards especially failing to make much of the powerful Parkhead defence. Shooting was not a feature of the game, both goalkeepers getting off easily.
