Trivia

  • With Mochan and Higgins back fit, the two youngsters in John McAlindon and Eric Smith both dropped out.

Review

With no interest in the championship and no relegation worries this was yet another 'game-to-play-out-the-season' and it showed in the interest from supporters of both clubs with less than 5000 turning up on the night. Mike Haughney missed a second penalty awarded to Celtic.
