Review
Celtic's lowest crowd for many years watched this game on a warm, pleasant spring evening.
The crowd was so sparse that the fans could be seen sitting on the terracing steps of the normally packed Jungle enclosure and the atmosphere was similar to a pre season friendly.
Jim Melrose continued is new found form with another goal. On loan Celt Jim McInally turned out for Dundee.
