Trivia
- Played on the same day as Celtic's first team defeat Raith Rovers 7-1 at Parkhead in the Scottish Cup.
- Stein keen to play friendlies to keep squad fit for forthcoming European Cup games with mighty Ajax.
- Jim Craig had recovered enough from his leg injury to be included in this Friendly game but not considered for the Cup game at Celtic Park. No more had been heard from Hearts on their attempt to sign Stevie Chalmers.
- Respectable crowd of 800 turns out to watch young striker Ward White score a hat trick. Danny McGrain plays in the unusual role of centre half.
- John 'Yogi' Hughes turned up at 1.30 with a written transfer request. Stein sends him home.
