Trivia
- Stein rests Danny McGrain and Kenny Dalglish to allow them to recover from their exertions at the World Cup. It was clear in their performances so far this season that they were not recovered enough.
- With McGrain and Dalglish rested in came Dixie Deans up front, Harry Hood dropping to the bench, Brogan back in and McNamara starting. Hunter paid the price for his blunder against Ayr and was out and Connaghan back in.
- On the previous night Celtic lost 4-1 to Dundee Utd in a Reserve League Cup match at Tannadice. The Celtic team was Barclay, McAleer, Little, Ritchie, MacDonald, Thomson, Casey, Bone, Mulholland, Davidson, Murphy. Subs Burns and McLaughlin. The Celtic scorer was Bone.
Review
The Celtic conveyor belt produces another gem in Jackie McNamara who scores the winner with a fine low shot but United get the headlines with a fine performance. Stevie Murray missed from 2 yards after just a couple of minutes
