Review
Colrain got the first goal for Celtic lobbing the keeper. This was in turn equalised by McPhee of Albion. Neil Mochan was booked for dissent. Celtic attacked and Divers shot in the 18th minute knocked Morrison over and out and he was stretchered off with Gilmour taking over in goal. Colrain, Auld and Jackson all had shots. On 33 minutes Bell deflected a fierce Auld shot past his keeper and at the other end 5 minutes later Peacock deflected a McPhee shot past Fallon. With it even at half time it was set for a decent second half.
Morrison resumed in goal and Celtic found it hard playing against the slope. Despite the efforts of both teams there was no further scoring.
