The Glasgow Herald – Apr 15, 1920
Celtic fielded their strongest eleven, but the Rovers had only four of their Cup tie team. The visitors had an easy game. McInally scored in the opening minutes, and before the interval Gallagher and McStay raised the total to three. During the second half Celtic scored two more through McInally and McLean. The Rovers had very little of the play.
