Review

A game of the proverbial two halves with Rangers bossing it in the first half and Celtic taking on that role in the second. bertie Peacock equalised a max Murray goal with a 25 yard screamer However despite superiority in play in the second half Celtic failed to find another goal and at 90 minutes the scores were level. With no time added and no replay the result rested on the toss of a coin, Bobby Shearer calling correctly to see Rangers through to the final.
