Review
Celtic win well on a glorious summers night on the coast. It took till the second half to break Ayr down but once the first goal had gone in then all the gears clicked and the team looked good.
Hughes broke the deadlock from a Kenny Dalglish pass. Hay scored the goal of the game after running 40 yards down the left side. And Dalglish himself finished the scoring from the penalty spot.
