Review
This game was keenly anticipated between the new League champions, Rangers and the winners of all three domestic cups, Celtic.
All the goals came in a magnificent first half with the second half an anti climax in the sodden conditions.
The rules of the competition forbade extra time and a replay was required that was never played.
