Review
A fairly dull and unsatisfying match throughout the first half. Clyde, as the second division side, played onfident football without being able to penetrate the Celtic defense. Celtic in contrast were back to their profligacy in front of goal whenever they had the chance and McCulloch in the Clyde goal dealt with everything that came his way.
In the second half the pattern continued to the growing disenchantment of a good crowd. But on 55 minutes Chalmers rose to head home a Hughes corner home and five minutes later Divers picked on a loose ball in the Clyde area after a Murdoch shot from a Chalmers quick throw in and slotted the ball home.
