Trivia
- Bobby Murdoch was fit again despite having played much of the Dinamo Zagreb game with concussion. John Hughes was out having picked up a knock against Zagreb and in his place came Bobby Lennox.
- Harrower for St Johnstone was ordered off and McNeill for Celtic booked after an incident in the first half.
- Missing from the St Johnstone line up was one Alex Ferguson, who would go on to scoring three goals against Rangers for St Johnstone before being signed by Rangers.
Review
A rude awakening for Celtic in the third minute when St Johnstone scored and then very nearly grabbed a second. It took some time for Celtic to get their game together but in the 27th minute Murdoch equalised. Tackling was fierce and harrower from St Johnstone was first booked then ordered off and McNeill booked in a separate incident. Murdoch got his second from a Divers pass before the interval.
In the second half against 10 men Celtic looked their normal self and Murdoch completed his hatrick with a goal that had a striong hint of offside.
