This was a great game from two attacking sides.Celtic kept at it until the end with two goals in the last three minutes from Nicholas and McGarvey.
At the final whistle the Celtic fans stayed to give Alan Hunter a fine send off and the big Irishman had to come back on to the field to take the fans' ovation.
