Match report from The Scotsman, 3rd January 1924
SHINGLETON DEFIES THE CELTIC
A brilliant display of goalkeeping was the feature of the game at Shawfield Park, Glasgow, where Clyed, after a plucky fight, drew with Celtic. Throughout the game Celtic were more the polished side, and their superiority was most pronounced in the second half, when they made desperate efforts to score. That they did not succeed was due to the play of Shingleton, who many times saved the situation in brilliant style. Better goalkeeping has not been seen this season. Fifteen minutes after the interval Celtic were awarded a penalty kick, but Shingleton turned aside W. McStay’s terrific drive. He injured a hand, but soon recovered, and in the closing stages defied fine efforts from Cassidy and McLean. Frame and Rae also rendered good service, but the forwards seldom gave Shaw much trouble. On the Celtic side, Hilley, W. McStay, Connelly, Gallagher, and Cassidy were best. The attendance would be 10,000.
The Glasgow Herald – 3 Jan, 1924
Celtic were always prominent during the first half, but although they exerted the severest pressure on Clyde’s goal they were unable to secure more than a number of corner kicks so magnificent was Shingleton’s work in goal. One shot by Thomson had him well beaten, and it was lucky for Clyde that it passed narrowly on the wrong side of the post. During the second half Celtic were also predominant, but again found Shingleton a stumbling block. Nearing the finish Celts were granted a penalty kick, but even this was turned aside by the goalkeeper, whose saving throughout earned his side a point. What made Shingleton’s performance all the more meritorious was the fact that he played during most of the game with a dislocated finger.
