Glasgow Herald:
McMenemy scored for Celtic after four minutes, while immediately after Buchan missed an open goal at the other end from Collins’s centre.

Celtic had all the play, and after McMenemy and Quinn had had goals disallowed for previous infringements McMenemy scored a second goal.

The second half was again much in favour of Celtic, who after Quinn had scored the third goal took matters easily.
