Review

Celtic did not deserve to lose this game. In the first half bad finishing had cost them dearly and in the second Murdo MacLeod had a fine goal controversially disallowed which would have given Celtic a 2-1 lead and this incident was covered in the media for weeks after.

With time running out Alex Miller scored the winner with a spectacular looping shot over Bonner.
