The Glasgow Herald – Oct 29, 1917
POSITIONS UNCHANGED.
Kilmarnock improved on last season’s result at Dumbarton, and in so doing maintained their position at the head of affairs. Had the Ayrshire team again drawn at Boghead second place would have been theirs because of the fractionally better goal average of Celtic. It it were noticeably a case of coming events casting their shadows before, the Dumbarton players began as if the present leaders were more than potential champions. Not until Kilmarnock had secured a two-goal lead did the home team muster sufficient courage to contest the game seriously, and then was evidenced the result of one team possessing confidence strangely lacking in the other. A penalty kick enabled Kilmarnock to go further ahead; a similar award to Dumbarton brought nothing tangible. Queen’s Park seemed equally reconciled to defeat, and unfortunately the amateurs had no solid grounds for anticipating any other result than has attended their visits to Parkhead for many seasons past. The game was remarkably more for good feeling than good play; an early goal gave the professionals a lead that was never seriously challenged, for as usual the veteran McNair had the losers’ one effective forward well under control.
