Review

There were injury doubts regarding Jimmy Johnstone but the wee man took his place on the Celtic right wing at kick off.

For 45 minutes Celtic were brilliant in defence as they soaked up massive periods of pressure from the big strong Slav side. The defence was so good that Simpson had barely a save to make all game.

Celtic were angry when the referee refused to stop the game to allow treatment for the injured Murdoch who was on the ground for some time.

After half time Celtic became more adventurous and Auld gave Lennox the chance to shoot only for Pantelic to make a fine save. Shortly after McNeill went on a run and shot just wide of the goal.

Vojvodina's goal was a tragedy for the hard working Gemmell when he ****** a pass to Clark which allowed Stanic a chance to beat Simpson from close in.

Celtic held out against further pressure with McNeill having a magnificent game in defence.
