Review
Only 9000 turn out on a cold spring night with Celtic resting Connaghan, McGrain, Brogan, Murray, Hay and Dalglish.
Celtic have an eye on Saturday's SCF and McLaughlin scores a lovely goal when he ran through on goal and lobbed goalkeeper Baines. Dixie Deans should have scored earlier when he took the ball around future Celtic keeper Roy Baines and then missed the goal.
