Trivia

  • Possibly the league victory that effectively won Celtic the league title (Celtic also won the home fixture at Celtic Park 6-2). Celtic won the league by 4pts.
  • Doyle & McMahon missing for Celtic
  • A rare double by Tom Dunbar, who was ironically an ex-Rangers player (started at Celtic, left for Rangers, then returned to Celtic (with no intervening clubs)).
  • Crossan scores his only goal in his second spell for Celtic.
  • This was a very valuable four-pointer match as Celtic were to win the league title by 4pts over Rangers that season.
