Trivia

• Jock Stein announces he will fly to London on Monday to receive the CBE from the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
• Celtic announce a friendly game against world club champions Feyenoord at Parkhead on February 9th.
• Jimmy Johnstone does not play despite being fit. Johnstone told Stein he did not want to play and rumours abound that Jinky may have asked for a transfer. As a punishment he is refused permission to travel to Lisbon to play in Benfica star Mario Coluna's testimonial.
• Celtic play in yellow shirts, green socks and yellow socks.

Review

Gemmell scores early with a trade mark thundering shot.

Celtic only click when Davidson is moved inside from the right wing and he scores two fine goals.

Jim Craig and Willie Wallace have fine games.
