Trivia
- Both John Clark and Billy McNeill were declared fit to play after visits to Victoria Infirmary. Charlie Gallacher was also declared fit.
- Celtic signed Hugh Maxwell from from Falkirk for £15,000.
- Clark duly played; Murdoch was moved back to inside right; McNeill played for the Reserves; Gallacher was not tested; Hughes came back in and Maxwell got his debut.
- The game was watched by three officials from Sunderland who were there to watch Alan Gilzean who was in a contractual dispute with Dundee and looking for an off.
Review
Little had been made of the signing of Hugh Maxwell and he stepped right into the team. Celtic had plenty of chances in the first half but first blood went to Dundee. Penman beat three Celts before shooting past Fallon. Celtic went into attack mode but to no avail.
In the second half play was stopped by the referee as lightning struck around the ground. Play resumed after the worst of the storm had passed. Hughes had a shot cleared off the line and despite the best efforts of Johnstone Celtic could not find the net. Hamilton was booked for Dundee and two minutes from time Murray added a second.
Another poor result for Celtic.
