Review
The Celtic goal was quickly under pressure from Wardhaugh but Celtic took the lead when Bobby Collins linked up with Tully. The Hearts side were nervous and Celtic had some good ball in the first half. Joe Baillie did well on his comeback and Collins, Fernie and Tully were all having good games up front. Four minutes from time Baillie bundled over Conn but Bonnar, who was having a golden game saved the spot kick. After the interval hearts pressured the Celtic goal. Their first goal had a touch of offside about it but with the Celticv defenders stopping Wardhaugh nipped the ball past Bonnar for an equaliser. Their second came from the spot after Peacock handled the ball. Collins hit an equaliser from 12 yards. fallon and Duncan contrived to hit the bar when it was easier to score. The Hearts winner came when Evans slipped going for a cross and Bauld cokllected to score.
