Review

A below strength Celtic side make the second leg academic in front of a capacity 10,000 crowd inside Kilbowie.
Stein rests Murdoch, McNeill, Johnstone Dalglish and Hughes for Ibrox on Saturday.
Clydebank did their best to keep the score down but were fighting a losing battle. Despite four changes all the Celtic players were fighting for places for the game against Rangers at the weekend. George Connelly yet again had a great game.
