Trivia
- An unchanged side for Celtic from the team that played against Aberdeen the previous week. Danny McGrain was in the squad that travelled.
- David Hay and Jimmy Johnstone had played for Scotland in a Euro qualifier against Belgium at Pittodrie. Kenny Dalglish also made a substitute appearance, his first Scotland cap, in a 1-0 win.
- On the same day Celtic defeated Dundee Utd 3-0 in a Reserve league match at Celtic Park. The Celtic team was Wiliams, Gemmell, Quinn, McCluskey, Watt, Cattanach, McLaughlin, Wilson, Hancock, White, O'Hara Sub J. Davidson. The Celtic scorers were Gemmell and Hancock 2.
Review
A tight first half when the Bhoys went behind to a goal from Gordon, but a brilliant second half display gave them the points.
Harry Hood got two goals in two minutes, the first from the penalty spot. As the confidence level increased the team pinned the Arabs back and macari, Dalglish and Lennox, with his first kick of the ball having subbed Dalglish, added to Hood's two to give a decent result.
