Trivia
- Ex Celt Tommy Docherty brings his young Chelsea side north for a friendly. Chelsea brought a party of 16 up for the game.
- Both sides agreed to allow substitutes during the game. The match was played on a Tuesday night.
- The match was abandoned on 80 minutes due to torrential rain when the touchline disappeared under water!
The scandal of ex-Celtic goalkeeper and St Mirren keeper Dick Beattie taking bribes to throw games broke in a Sunday paper. St Mirren immediately suspended him from playing and training with the club
Review
An excellent and worthwhile game was seen by the 12,000 that endured the rain at Celtic Park. Bobby Tambling gave Chelsea the lead after 18 minutes. Bobby Murdoch equalised from the penalty spot on 66 minutes.
