Trivia
- A Wednesday night game.
- Celtic had not known their opponents in this, the Third Round tie, right up to the Monday night when Gala overcame Duns in the Second Round tie to win the chance to play Celtic.
- Charlie Gallacher came in on the right wing with Bobby Craig dropping out.
This night Dundee progressed to the semi-finals of the European Cup with a 2-1 (6-2 agg) win over Anderlecht.
Review
The result was never in doubt though Gala put up a decent resistance in the first twenty minutes. celtic were 2-0 up at half time with goals from Hughes and Murdoch. A further four goals followed in the second half. A section of the crowd felt that it should have been more and boos were heard at times.
