Review
Clyde must have thought the tie was all over when they scored a third goal without reply on 54 minutes. It took that long for the Celtic attack to wake up. What followed was a revival and first Bertie Auld scored followed by the now regular goal addition from Neil Mochan and to finish off bertie Peacock got a captain's goal. With the game tied at 3-3 on 90 minutes the result was made by a toss of the coin with Celtic progressing to the semi final against Rangers.
