Trivia
- The cost of the Leixoes game was not as heavy as had been expected given the kicking and fouling resorted to by the Portugese. Charlie Gallacher was definetly out with the ankle injury which had not been inflicted by the Portugese. Billy McNeill had had the plaster cast removed from his ankle and was back in light training. Jimmy Johnstone and Steve Chalmers both had leg knocks but were available.
- As expected John Divers replaced Charlie Gallacher at inside left and John Hughes was preferred to Bobby Lennox.
- Frank Haffey headed down to Swindon to look at the terms and conditions offered by the English club.
Review
A convincing 3-1 win away with the Celtic hero being Bobby Murdoch who scored one goal and made the other two. Aberdeen took the lead with a penalty in the twelth minute when Kennedy bundled over Hume in the penalty area. kerrigan cionverted the spot kick. Murdoch set Hughes up to score the equaliser in 32 minutes beating three defenders before squaring to Hughes. Celtic then had a Chalmers 'goal' chalked off for offside.
In the second half Murdoch scored his own goal with a header before Steve Chalmers settled the matter.
