Trivia
- Stenhousemuir's first visit to Parkhead since 1937. Celtic led 2-0 from the first leg.
- Sean Fallon had vowed to freshen things up and had the perfect chance with the visit of Stenhousemuir. Danny McGrain was carrying a cut in his leg and in came Roy Aitken, still not 17, for his first start. McNamara was again fit after an ankle knock. Deans was retained and Ronnie Glavin and Harry Hood restored. Bobby Hannah and Tommy Burns had been in line for a call up but they were both injured.
- By this time Steve Murray had decided to retire. The foot injuries he had received the previous season had failed to heal despite an operation in the closed season and he decided to retire.
- It's the end for George Connelly at Parkhead. He walks out again for the third time and this time it's final. It's a sad end for one of Celtic's greatest ever talents.
- Celtic win 3-0 on aggregate and will play Partick Thistle in the semis.
Review
Andy Lynch scores in an uneventful game in wet conditions.
Pat McCluskey becomes the fourth Celtic player to miss a penalty this season already. Dalglish was brought down in the area in the first half and McCluskey hit the spot kick well wide.
Fallon is becoming angry with careless attitudes from 12 yards.
Harry Hood hit the post after coming on.
Bobby Murdoch's brother Billy plays for Stenny and cracks a shot off the bar from 25 yards.
When the draw for the semis was made it showed the potential for a Rangers – Celtic final with Celtic drawing Partick Thistle and Rangers drawing Montrose.
