Review

Saints simply swept aside in rather one-sided Scottish Cup final as Celtic win their 6th Scottish Cup.

Only man in the forward line not to score was Jimmy McMenemy, and he was the best player on the field!

Evening News reporter had his papers blown out of the Press Box and he had to climb on to the roof of the stand to get it back – to the alarm of the crowd!
