Review

George Paterson hit the bar with a penalty kick, and the 9-2 score in corners reflected Celtic’s superiority. Mystery about Jimmy Delaney. Why is he not in the team? Rumours abound about him having picked a fight with the club over the lack of a benefit, but it may be that he is simply fed up of playing in an under-performing set up.
