Review
Billy McNeill:
"I had my worries going into this match. It is always difficult to guess how a team will react to going out of Europe. Our lads seemed quite deterined to put it out of their mind and turned in a first half performance that will be hard to equal. Having gone in 3 – 0 up after the first period the players seemed to slacken off in the second half and lost two goals! It is perhaps understandable that they'd get mentally and physically tired after our recent busy schedule but they must learn that one hundred percent concentration is needed. The fright they got on Saturday will no doubt illustrate this to them."
