• Ronnie Simpson's Debut

(From 'The Celtic Football Companion' by David Docherty)
A depleted but determined Celtic team won the admiration of the crowd for their second half performance. Clark limoped on the wing a virtual passenger throughout the second half, having hurt his right thigh in the 1st half. Murdoch dropped back to cover. In defense 7 players, marshalled by Cushley and McNeill, formed a wall of defiance in face of Barcelona.
