Review
A record crowd at Easter Road saw that Hugh Shaw had been watching and learning about the Celtic new maestro, Tully. Sammy Kean was detailed to man mark and shadow him all game with the result being that the Celtic hero saw far less of the ball and was far less pivotal than he had so far been this season.
