Trivia
- The team to play was kept under wraps to the last moment. In the end Evan Williams was restored to the net and Hay and Brogan returned at full back. The man who caught the brunt of the censure for the Copenhagen debacle was Jimmy Johnstone, who was subbed in Denmark and left out of this game.
- Celtic play in unfamiliar strip of green shirts, white shorts and yellow socks.
- Lisbon Lions John Clark and Steve Chalmers turn out for Morton.
- John Clark has the misfortune to score an own goal.
Review
Macari, Dalglish and Hood are a devastating front three. Macari was a constant threat, always on the move and looking for an opportunity.
Bobby Lennox finished off a great move by Dalglish and Macari for the first goal. Recently departed John Clark then deflected a Macari shot past his keeper to put the Bhoys 2 up at half time. Thoirup pulled one back but Harry Hood restored the advantage a minute later.
