Trivia

• Rare occurence as Gemmell misses penalty.
• Aberdeen are held 0-0 by Rangers at Pittodrie and Celtic will now go top if they win their game in hand.

Review

Celtic made heavy weather of this after Wallace gave them the lead after only two minutes.

Johnstone was Celtic's best player with a number of mazy runs and the Airdrie players could not cope with him. After Johnstone clicked then the goals came.

Jim Brogan was impressive and there is talk of him winning a Scotland cap soon.
