Review
An action packed game from the start with close calls at both ends before Lenoox put Celtic in front only to be immediately cancelled out by Duncan. 1-1 at half time there was all to play for in the second and Partick went at it scorting when Andy Roxburgh (who would go on to be Scotland manager in the future) broke away and crossed for Kilpatrick to head home.Celtic fought on with half an hour left and after switching Johnstone and |Chalmers the equaliser came when Auld stabbed home a Chalmers cross.
