Review
Sloppy finishing from Celtic marred a game in which they were never really going to get beaten and the result flattered Raith.
Celtic scored twice and hit the woodwork four times but with the game at 2-1 Raith Duncan missed a great chance to force a replay when he flunked his shot in front of goal.
It was becoming more and more apparent that the team lacked an out-and-out front man scoring machine.
