Review
Real Soceidad killed the tie when the away goal meant Celtic needed four to win. This was a big task against a side that had the backbone of the Spain 1982 world cup side – Arconada, Satrustegui, Zamora and Ufarte,
They attacked to the end and MacLeod scored with two memorable powerful shots.
