Review
Celtic disappoint on the night that Sunderland paraded the FA cup before the match started. Big Yogi’s brother Billy scores a fine goal for Sunderland and Danny McGrain almost scores when he strikes the bar.
Too many players underperformed with Murdoch, Johnstone and Deans all having off games.
