Review
Celtic blow a two goal lead in the second half on a cold, damp night at Dens Park where the fans were thoroughly entertained. Jimmy Johnstone put the Bhoys two up after 23 minutes and was unplayable in the first half. His first came from a pass from John Hughes and the second three minutes later when he was there to knock home a parried Harry Hood shot.
Dundee fought back battling on to half time and coming out for the second half on fire. With the game tied both teams went at it producing a cracking game with Wallace of Dundee and Macari hitting the posts in a game that could have gone either way..
