Review

The first part of the game was back and forth with both teams having shots. Celtic gained the upper hand when Smith attempting to clear a ball shot the ball into his net. The rest of the half proved to be an evenly matched affair.
In the second half Brogan scored a good goal from a Divers pass, and Divers himself scored before the end with a 20 yard shot.
