Match Trivia
RG Campbell Benefit Match, The Parkhead directors paid the Rangers captain a big complement last night when they took almost a full League team to Ibrox on the occasion of his benefit match. Only Quinn, Loney and McNair were absent, and the latter is presently unfit to play. Campbell, of course, is an old servant of the Celtic club, which was his first after he left his amateur status behind him at Hampden. Evidently Campbell’s services have been appreciated by the Ibrox enthusiasts, for there were 4000 of them present at the match on an evening which was none too inviting. Rangers had out seven of their reserves nut they managed to win, although a draw would have been quite a fair reflection of the play. Mulrooney might have stopped Parker’s shot which gave the Ibrox side their first goal. The Parkhead goalkeeper had a brilliant save from the same player later on, however, which compensated in some measure for his earlier mistake. All the scoring took place in the second half. Brown opened for the Celtic with a fine shot, and a minute afterwards Parker got the equaliser, after neatly tricking one of the opposing defenders. Brown followed with the winning point, carrying the ball well forward ere delivering the successful shot. There was a lot of pretty play through from both sets of forwards, Johnstone, who was tried in centre by the Celts, showed an aptitude for the position, and was unfortunate once or twice in failing to get through. Gallagher and McMenemy were best for Celtic, Although McAtee and Brown centred well. Parker was the weakest of the Rangers’ attacking line, which for a reserve lot, with the exception of Montgomery, showed excellent form. Of the half-dozen half-backs Young and Bowie were best, and little fault could be found with either of the backs. Mulrooney and Lock both had capital saves
