CELTIC’S SCOTTISH CUP FINALS – Number 8…

CELTIC 2-0 CLYDE – IBROX, 6th APRIL 1912 – Yet again an Ibrox Scottish Cup final was bedevilled by wind, but this time it was drier, and Celtic were clearly the better team both with the wind and against it.

The star man was Andy McAtee, but the goals came from Jimmy McMenemy with the wind in the first half and the prodigious Patsy Gallacher in the second half against the wind after fine work from McAtee. Both goals owed something to goalkeeping errors but Celtic were totally on top from beginning to end. It was the 8th Scottish Cup triumph.
