Trivia

  • Rangers win the League at Easter Road against Hib with four games to go.
  • Sadness around Celtic Park as the fans realise that 10 in a row finally was gone sank in.
  • McGrain and McNeill are restored along with Wilson and Hood.
  • Celtic hit top form for the first time in months.
  • The Reserves played Aberdeen Reserves in midweek with a team of Hunter, McCluskey, Brogan, Glavin, MacDonald, Connelly, Johnstone, Lynch, Deans, Newman, McLaughlin and won 6-2 with a predominantly 'first' team squad.

Port chaos as fishing fleets throughout the land seal off all harbours. Fishermen were protesting at the failure to bring inm a 50 mile national fishing waters bill and the importing of cheap fish from abroad. The Clyde was sealed tight.

Review

Celtic bounce back after a goal less first half with a great display in the second. Dalglish is the star man with a great performance and receives a standing ovation when he came off. His partnership with Wilson lit up the second half.

The end of the month table following this game looked so.
