Review
Not exactly a memorable game. Celtic looked lethargic after their extra time win over St Mirren in midweek.
They would have won only for a blunder by Aitken, who had been moved back into the centre of defence to cover Tom McAdam's absence, when he attempted to pass back to Latchford and only succeeding in lifting the ball over Latchford and into the net.
Despite a run of draws Celtic still stood at the top of the table.
