Review
Dalglish grabs the headlines again with a spectacular hat trick in an entertaining game. Stein ponders how to keep Johnstone, Hood, Wallace, Lennox, Hughes, Macari, Dalglish and Davidson all happy as they fight for places up front.
Jim Brogan had to leave the field and have 5 stitches in an eyebrow cut after a clash with Aird.
Celtic offer to play League cup tie against Rangers on August 14th at Ibrox as the Parkhead main stand is still under construction and will not get a safety certificate. Rangers say they want no unfair advantage and want to play behind closed doors ! Scottish League eventually rule that game will go to Ibrox.
