Review
Celtic win through easily on the night. Paul Wilson has his best game of the season. He scores the first goal with a header from an Andy Lynch free kick and then makes a fine run beating two men for Doyle to score the second.
Celtic fans chanted 'Fergie, Fergie shut your mouth', towards Saints manager Alex Ferguson.
