Trivia
- A Monday night game following the tough game at the weekend at home to Dundee Utd.
- Following the poor performance against Dundee Utd changes were needed. Jock Stein left out Dalglish and Auld as well as Gemmell and brought back Jim Craig, George Connelly and Lennox started with Bobby Murdoch on the bench.
- Harry Hood now topped the scoring table for Division 1.
Review
Celtic get the win required to set up a title decider on Saturday against Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
Jimmy Johnstone continued in his rich vein of form and he was joined by Lennox who had his best game of the season. He made the first goal for Wallace, scored the second and made the tird too with some dazzling wing play before crossing.
Jim Craig and Brogan played well in defense and Motherwell rarely troubled Williams in goal. But the best man on the park was Jinky.
