Review

Two free kicks won the game for Celtic. Glavin scored wth a powerful shot after Hood had run over the ball.
Two minutes later Willie Wallace crossed for Tom McAdadam to head home.
Dumbarton might have gone ahead after Latchford misjudged the flight of a ball (again) but Danny McGrain was on hand to clear off the line.
Pat McCluskey and Cushley were booked.
Paul Wilson scored after Hood had set him up.
Wilson and Muir were also booked before the end.

Sons were well served by ex Celts Donald Watt, Willie Wallace and John Cushley and Cushley's tackle on Dalglish 'would have halted a herd of buffalo'.
