Trivia

  • A further Challenge game for Stein to ty and find a winning formula. However the match had been requested by the Bankies after a poor display in their weekend game against St Mirren.
  • The late Davie Cooper is a star turn for Clydebank.
  • A young Tommy Burns impresses for Celts.
  • Left back was 17 year old Robert Hannah who had just been called up the Celtic Park after being farmed out to Bellshill.
  • Rumours did the rounds that Jock Stein was ready to leave Celtic. He moved quickly to quash these with an article in the Celtic View saying that he would be at Celtic till he still had something to give and at the behest of the Celtic directors.
