Review
A big turn out to watch this highly competitive match. The start was held up for seven minutes to allow the crowd in. The stand is all-ticket but the Ground is open entry.
As luck would have it Vic Davidson gave 'Well the lead after his recent move from Celtic only for Dalglish to equalise.
Tommy Callaghan missed from the spot after McAdam had handled in the box and Celtic could not find a winner.
