Trivia

  • At a meeting in the city of 500 delegates of Celtic Supporters club, the supporters vowed to support the club in every action they took with regard to the Eire flag controversy which was then raging.
  • Bobby Evans was out with an ankle injury. Willie Fernie took his place.

Review

Unfortunately, the winning spirit shown in the previous game, the 6-1 victory over Queen of the South, was lost and night was falling when Celtic got the goal that salvaged a draw.

Bonnar had little to do in the second half other than pick the ball out of the net.
