Trivia
- A Celtic, predominantly reserve side had played Throttur from Iceland the previous night at Celtic Park and won 10-1. John Hughes scored 5 with Lennox, Smith, Clark and Brogan all chipping in with one each as well as an own goal.
- A new recruit to the largess that appeared to be flowing at Morton was ex-Celt Bobby Evans. Now 35 he brought a degree of certainty to a team that was pushing for promotion to the First Division.
Review
Raith had a shout for a penalty early which was not given. The teams were fairly evenly matched at the start. Gradually Celtic got the better of the game and in the 30th minute Bobby Murdoch scored a great goal with a powerful shot from a Byrne cross.
Celtic came out looking for more in the second half. Just over half an hour in Celtic were awarded a penalty and Billy McNeill shot the spot kick home.
At the end of the second month of the season Celtic stood at 6th in the League table
