- Celtic win 3-0 on aggregate.

Review
Aarhus fielded an eight man defensive line up and this made for a poor game.
Ronnie Simpson risked pneumonia on a cold night as he had nothing to do for the entire match.
Johnstone's goal was the highlight of the game, a splendid left foot strike into the top corner.
Celtic were rumoured to be interested in Aarhus goalie Bent Martin who had an exceptional game.
