The Glasgow Herald – Feb 24, 1919
Against a much more strenuous opposition, and with a remodelled defence, Celtic had to bestir themselves against Partick Thistle. But the substitution of Cassidy for McAtee did not improve their attack; McMenemy and Gallagher were far too elusive for the Firhill defenders, and even when McColl had to retire and the teams were on an equality in goals, there never seemed the slightest prospect of the Thistle recording their first League victory over their redoubtable opponents.
