CELTIC’S SCOTTISH CUP FINALS – Number 7…CELTIC 2-0 ST MIRREN – IBROX, 15th APRIL 1911 – Celtic won the Scottish Cup for the 7th time by beating Hamilton in a replay. The first game is generally written off as a dreadful 0-0 draw, and this one was only slightly better.
The weather was not congenial with much wind and rain, and it was only in the latter stages that Celtic, playing with the benefit of the conditions, scored twice with shots from a distance, one from Jimmy Quinn and one from Tommy McAteer. Several interesting things about 1911’s Scottish Cup campaign. One was that they were never out of Glasgow as they were always drawn at home, the other was that they never lost a goal, and the third was that three man from Croy – Jimmy Quinn, Tommy McAteer and Andy McAtee – played in that final.
The Celtic team was: Adams, McNair and Hay; Young, McAteer and Dodds; McAtee, McMenemy, Quinn, Kivlichan and Hamilton.
