Trivia
- Stein, Tully and Mochan were all fit and came back into the team at the expense of Boden, Smith and Collins.
Review
Celtic attacked briskly at the start as was usual with Mochan and Tully combining well. Fernie and Walsh switched positions. Curran was kept busy in the East Fife goal. Walsh scored the first goal after a good work from a pass from Fernie. Fallon had to retire with an injury to his left leg. He returned but was clearly not 100%. At half time it was 1-0 to Celtic.
Fallon failed to appear for the second half. Mochan scored after interplay between Walsh and Fernie. The goal appeared to rouse East Fife and they started to apply some pressure to the Celtic goal and defenders – now down to ten men. Leishman hit the post and on 67 minutes Fleming forced the ball over the line. Stein was booked for complaining. Fleming then got a second from a Stewart cross.
