Trivia

  • Celtic go three points clear with six games left.
  • Tommy Burns, playing his first game since Jan 3rd was the inspiration behind this win.
  • Man Utd manager Ron Atkinson is in the stand with his chief scout Tony Collins to watch Charlie Nicholas. Billy McNeill caustically remarks that 'Collins has a season ticket here at Parkhead' due to the number of times United have watched Nicholas this season.
  • Aberdeen beat Waterschei of Belgium 5-1 at Pittodrie in the ECWC semi final and are all but guaranteed a place in the final.

Review

The McGarvey – Nicholas partnership slay United again. Nicholas' goal was a superb lob over McAlpine.
