Review
Dalglish turns in masterful display with a glorious hat trick. United still reeling from shock FA cup final defeat to Southampton two weeks previously.
Celtic fans chant 'We want Hay' all through the game, a plea to the club to sign their former star who turned in an impeccable display at sweeper.
Johnstone and Lennox had an emotional lap of honour before wee Jinky has a his own final lap and throws his boots into the Jungle.
Billy Connolly refereed an ex players game before the match started. Connolly came out with a Rangers scarf and jersey to howls of good natured abuse from the crowd.
Celtic: Fallon Craig Gemmell McNeill Clark Murdoch Auld
Opposition: Wilson (Arsenal) Stiles Crerand Baxter (Rangers) Giles (Leeds) Bobby Charlton and Bobby Collins
Ronnie Simpson led Celtic out but couldn't play through injury.

The crowd roared their approval of the old boys and this warmed them up before the game on a typically dreich, wet Glasgow night.
