Trivia
- More injury woe following the Kilmarnock game. Billy McNeill picked up an injury as did Paddy Turner. John McNamee was on the mend but touch-n-go as to whether he would be fit in time. In the end they all made it and John Clark was retained over on the left at the expense of Billy Price dropping out. The forward line was completely shuffled around and with Frank Brogan back fit Jimmy Johnstone dropped out.
- The Reserves also played Queens Reserves in the Reserve league Cup winning 7-2. The team was Fallon, Young, Kennedy, J Brogan, Cushley, O'Neill, R Young, Lennox, McCallum, Gallacher, Jeffrey.
- In the Combined Reserve League Celtic fielded a team against Stirling Albion of Madden; Halpin, Parkes; Henderson, McCarron, Lawson; Curley, Gillan, 'Newman', O'Neill, Corrigan. They won 2-0.
- A very strong and vocal anti-Robert Kelly element within the supportr showed up and made their feelings against the Celtic chairman very plain.
Review
A dull and lifeless game. Frank Brogan got Celtic's first goal of the season. The left wing of Turner – Brogan appeared to trouble Queens. With close to half an hour gone McDonald of QotS played a one-two and beat Haffey with a decent shot. The terraces were silent. Two minutes later when Hughes was dispossessed by the goalkeeper when readying to shoot the slow handclaps and whistling started around the ground. When the teams went off there was an outburst of booing which was directed as much at the directors box as at the team.
The second half was even duller than the first.
After the game the demonstrations continued with chants of "We want Kelly". The police were forced to intervene and several arrests were made.
