Review

At long last this season, Celtic got the better of Third Lanark in front of a huge crowd at Celtic Park.

For a long time, Thirds looked as if they were going to win yet again, but Sunny Jim, clearly relishing his new role as a wing half, sent a constant supply of ammunition for the forwards.

“Quinn is a marvellous expert on the goal line of twisting the ball into the goal whilst on the run”
