Outside of football the Aden crisis started with British troops coming under attack by South Yemeni nationalists. The crisis had started in 11963 and this further increase in hostilities hastened the end of British control in the southern Arabian country.
Review
Despite playing in the number 4 shorts Willie Wallace was fielded up front and this improved Celtic from the first game. Celtic started the game at a cracking pace determined to impose their authority from the start. In 2 minutes Lennox turned the ball in after McCulloch had saved a Chalmers shot and in 22 minutes Auld cracked in a great goal after Chalmers' clever header set him up.
After that the game was as good as over and Celtic ran out convincing winners. Jimmy Johnstone went off with a leg injury after 57 minutes to be replaced by the substitute John Hughes.
