Trivia
- Connelly was dropped for the game and Paul Wilson started on the bench along with Dixie Deans. Jimmy Johnstone and Roddie MacDonald were both recalled.
- Rangers win 2-1 at Dens Park but the game is stopped for 5 minutes due to crowd trouble with Rangers 1-0 down and with 10 men.
- This was the first time all season that Paul Wilson had failed to start a first class game.
Review
Celtic are now going through the motions and the title is Ibrox bound despite everything the two respective managers said to the Press. Jock Stein was truthful enough to admit within the match programme and the pages of Celtyic View that the possibility of a world record 10 Championships on the trot had gone. The slump in form had been bad since the turn of the year.
Even the return of Johnstone to the team cannot inspire them and the fans look sadly on in silence.
