McStay (Celtic). About two minutes after the kick-off Gallagher, from a pass by McInally, scored for Celtic and Rangers, and 15 minutes later Craig equalised for the League eleven. Play throughout this period favoured Celtic-Rangers, but their finishing was weak and no further scoring resulted. The League side were seen to more advantage in the second half when they twice scored through McFarlane.
