Trivia
- Despite the treatrment meted out by FC Zurich in the European Cup game all the players reported fit apart from minor knocks and bruises – even Jimmy Johnstone and John Hughes who had received the bulk of the Swiss attention.

Review
The Bhoys hit another six goals to make it 51 goals scored so far this season. They started quietly enough but even so were 2-0 up at half time with goals from Jimmy Johnstone and Bobby Lennox. In the second half they cut loose with Lennox and Johnstone adding to their firsat half goals and Joe McBride scoring two. He even had the luxury of missing a penalty – the first he had missed since taking over spot kick duties. Some tough tackling led to three bookings. McCarry and Johnstone were booked and Murdoch received his second booking in two games.
