Style of Play
Most of his matches were in the in the first half of the 1929-30 season, but his run ended after a 2-1 win over Cowndenbeath in the league in Nov 1929. Thereafter he was in and out the side. He had scored three goals in this run of games. His first was in a 4-3 defeat to Aberdeen, then one each in a 3-1 win over Queen's Park (Glasgow Cup) and one in a 4-0 win over Hibs.

He managed a run of games late in his last season in 1931-32, and managed to sign-off on a high in a 4-1 win over Kilmarnock with two goals. This run of games saw Peter also score the winning goal over St Mirren in a 2-1 win in Mar 1932. So this short run was the highlight of his time, and maybe indicated that he could have been used more in his time at Celtic or should have been kept on for longer to test him out further.
