Scottish Referee, 20/05/1898, confirms the keeper was Alex King.
It also seems to suggest that both sides were what could probably be called "select" sides.

R Findlay in this photo is Roderick Findlay from Broughty Ferry.
Roderick died on the 15th December 1919 at his home at 36 Fort Street, Broughty Ferry, and is buried in Barnhill Cemetery.

No commemoration on the Scottish National War Memorial, nor CWGC.

A match missing fro the Celtic Wiki... Appears to be a strong(ish) Celtic side.

That NBDM report is the only one that mentions him playing.

In a further twist... the first match appears to have stood as a cup tie.

Match reports for Celtic v Queen's Park, Scottish Cup tie, September 1889, have him appearing in both games.
1 Scottish Cup appearance?

These photos are NOT the same man, but... both are Pat Dowling
born Pennsylvania & Greenock.

I wonder if the Scottish Pat had relatives that settled in America.
