Trivia

  • Celtic's first Ne'erday game since 1976 at Ibrox.

Review

Celtic started off nervously after their recent drubbing at Pittodrie and Killie took the lead after only two minutes. McGarvey equalised quickly to steady the nerves and then nabbed the winner.

Celtic could have scored more in the second half but missed chances and became nervous near the end when Killie grew bolder but Celts held out to win.
