Review
Celtic make a very rare trip to Ochilview Park.
Scotland manager Willie Ormond must be impressed by Dalglish's goal when he dummies Stenny defenders to create space to fire in an unstoppable 18 yard shot. Edvaldsson is a stand out in the game but is subbed to give Roy Aitken his debut.
No scoring before half time after Celtic had started brightly but then lost their way.
Lennox got the first heading home a Tommy Callaghan corner. And Dalglish's magnificent goal finished it off.
