Review
This game was organised at short notice between managers Davie Hay and Eddie Gray after bad weather had kept both sides from playing for a number of weeks. 500 Celtic fans were estimated to be in the 6136 crowd on a freezing cold night.
Bad weather in the Glasgow area prevented more Celtic fans from travelling.
