- Jock Stein said to be interested in Dundee United defender Jackie Copland.

Review
Celtic lost two bad early goals but came back and made a game of it.
Despite the defeat the feeling was that if they get a quality forward to finish off the good outfield work then things will come good in the end.
Jock Stein said to be looking to strengthen the defence which looks weak when attacked.
