Trivia
- This was international week with the Scotland due to face Denmark at Hampden. David Hay and Jimmy Johnstone were in the Scotland side that defeated the Danes 1-0 on 11th November. Both Celtic players received abuse from the Rangers end every time they touched the ball, particularly Hay who occupied the position that Rangers fans thought Jardine of Rangers should occupy.
- Tommy Gemmell finally appeared back in the first team having recovered from his ankle injury. This allowed Jim Brogan to go to left half and Bobby Lennox came in up front with Harry Hood dropping to the bench.
- Celtic play in yellow shirts, green shorts and yellow socks.
- At Rugby Park, on the same day, Celtic Reserves defeated Kilmarnock Reserves 5-2. The Celtic scorers were Davidson 4 and Chalmers. The Celtic team was Fallon, McCluskey, Quinn, Dalglish, McGrain, Cattanach, Callaghan, Davidson, Chalmers, Macari, White Sub Watt
- Outside of football President de Gaulle of France died suddenly of a heart attack.
Review
Celtic are now back in top form and could have scored double figures but for bad finishing and fine goalkeeping by Ally Hunter.
Booby Murdoch hit a spectacular volley for the first on 18 minutes. Wallace poked the ball home for the second and a Jimmy Johnstone shot in the second half made it 3-0.
Celtic did not have a failure and Connelly is now being described as the complete player.
