Review
Rangers got off to a quick start with a goal in 5 minutes but on 27 minutes Divers got in and equalised for Celtic after a mix up in the Rangers defense. Three minutes into the second half Fernie put Celtic in front and it looked as though Celtic would go on and take the points only for Baxter to hit a rocket of a shot 2 minutes from time.
