Match report from The Scotsman, 20th February 1922
[…] A hard, but by no means brilliant, game was witnessed at Celtic Park, Glasgow, where the Celtic gained a narrow victory over Clyde. During the first half Clyde gave a dashing display, their forwards playing a fine open game, which kept the Celtic defence on the move. Shaw had many fine saves, and but for his clever work Clyde would have crossed over on the lead. After the interval the Celtic gave an improved display, and Cassidy, following a well-placed corner kick, headed past Shingleton into the net. For the remainder of the game the Celtic forwards kept play in the Clyde end, but Shingleton’s brilliance kept them from increasing their lead.
Glasgow Herald – 20 Feb 1922
Clyde were the more aggressive side in the opening stages, and the Celtic goal had several narrow escapes. The home side afterwards settled down in front of Shingleton, who, however, played a sound game, and at the interval neither side had scored. In the second half Celtic were early dominant and when Cassidy opened the scoring the success was due on the run of play. Towards the finish the Parkhead side pressed hard, forcing a succession of corners, but failing to add to their score.
Herald summary: Had Rangers lost, their chances of the championship would have been seriously endangered, but with twelve points to go and relatively only one point behind Celtic, the Ibrox club have been reinstated as popular favourites. Celtic had an impressive victory last Tuesday, when they beat St Mirren at Paisley by 2-0. There are doubtless other competitors as capable as Partick Thistle and Clyde of stretching Rangers and Celtic to the full, and there is the further influence of the cup-ties to add to the uncertainty as to which, if either, of the pair is destined to secure the coveted League flag.
