Review

Referee Delaney enrages the Celtic crowd when he allows United's goal to stand in three minutes after Milne scored with his hand, Despite Celtic protests he would not consult his linesman and the goal stood.

Celtic's equaliser was brilliantly created from a Burns through ball to McCluskey who nutmegged McAlpine.

Delaney then denied Celts a penalty when Kopel fouled McGarvey and then McGarvey hit a post with a good shot.

Celtic had no luck on the day.
