Trivia
- Played at market's Field, Limerick on a Monday evening with a 5:30pm kick off.
- Bobby Murdoch and Tommy Callaghan had slight knocks.
- Limerick were FAI cup holders.
- Young Dalglish scores remarkable three penalties and Gemmell also missed from the spot on 62 minutes when goalkeeper Kevin Fitzpatrick saved his penalty.
- Charles Patrick Tully died at home in Belfast in the early hours of the 27th July – a Celtic great dieing so young at the age of 47.
Review
Kenny Dalglish laid another marker down for inclusion as a regular in the first team by scoring four goals – two from the penalty spot – and hitting the post twice..
With Gemmell only coming on as a sub and missing a penalty, questions were now being asked if he would win a starting slot as full back having been elected as the best player in the world at left back just the previous season.
