Review
Celtic gave young 18 year old defender David Moyes his Old Firm debut, in the unusual position of right back, in place of the injured Danny McGrain with Mike Conroy in place of the injured Tommy Burns. Rangers gave a derby debut young striker Gordon Dalziel and both young men were to have a major influence on the proceedings.
Celtic started well and Peter McCloy made a great save from Dom Sullivan, low down at the right post. From the resultant corner Davie Moyes headed goalwards for Tom McAdam to glance a header into the net at the far post.
Two minutes later Gordon Dalziel equalised with a low header from six yards after Derek Johnstone had headed down a Cooper cross.
Celtic regained the lead in 10 minutes when Davie Provan sent Moyes keenly running down the right wing. From his deep cross Frank McGarvey rose to send a glorious header looping over McCloy.
To their credit Rangers fought back and sensationally took the lead with two goals in as many minutes.
Firstly, Dalziel took a pass from McDonald and jinked his way to the bye line before crossing for Bett to head home. Seconds later the Celtic defence got in a fankle and John McDonald's effort barely crossed the line before Bonner, trying to scramble it clear, ended up in the net with the ball.
In 51 minutes MacLeod equalised with a glorious right foot volley, which went in off a post, after Moyes had headed on a Provan corner from the right.
Understandably both teams tired late in the game and there were no further goals allowing fans of both sides to draw breath.
