Trivia

  • The Glasgow Herald has no report on the Celtic game other than to say they disposed of their opponents easily. LINK
  • The Herald does however have lots to say about cars as the Motor Show is at Kelvin Hall. Bean car from £385, Paige from £595, or André Citroën’s new 11.4 HP model from £445 are just some of the cars on view.
  • Again in the Herald news of the death of Shackleton from Monte Video
  • Also in this newspaper reports of the collapse of the roof of the Knickerbocker theatre in Washington in which 100 are feared dead.
  • The Herald also reports that Egypt is to be offered Free State status similar to Ireland.

Match report from The Scotsman, 30th January 1922

The Celtic had no difficulty in overcoming Montrose at Celtic Park, Glasgow. The game was one-sided throughout, and Shaw had to act the part of the spectator all through. The Montrose forwards were well held by the Celtic half-backs, and never got properly into their stride. J. Hogg at outside left had several fine runs, but he found McNair too ‘cute for him. The Celtic forwards played delightful football, and only the rugged defence of Anderson and Geddes kept down the scoring. McFarlane and McInally scored for the Celtic before the interval, and McFarlane and McLean added goals in the second half.
