Match report from The Scotsman, 20th December 1920
[…] Considering the weather conditions, the game between Celtic and Airdrieonians at Celtic Park, Glasgow, reached a high standard. On the frozen surface the Celtic forwards, especially in the first half, showed a wonderful command over the ball, and it was only the sterling defence of Dick and Watson that prevented the Celtic from crossing over with a bigger lead than the goals scored by Gallagher and McInally. After the interval Airdire found their feet , and in seven minutes Henderson got the better of Shaw. Thereafter the play was keenly contested, and contained many thrills, but the respective defences held out. Attendance 10,000.

The Glasgow Herald – Dec 20, 1920
Airdrieonians lost by one goal to Celtic, at Parkhead, but the provincial team, obviously unsuited by the frozen ground, comported themselves in a manner that somewhat restored their damaged reputation. Celtic’s superiority lay in attack, where Cassidy, Gallagher, and McInally showed daring and skill, and at half-back where Cringan gave an impressive display of destructive and constructive tactics.
