Review

With nothing to play for as Celtic had already qualified the teams played out a cracker at Fir Park.

Dalglish's two goals were sublime, the first a cool shot under pressure after a Bone pass and the second a brilliant shot from outside the area.

Willie Pettigrew scored the first of many goals against Celtic on the night.
