Review

Celtic eventually click in the second half and run out easy winners.
The first half was tense with chances at both ends. Again probably after a half time rocket the team got going in the second half. Conn got the first tapping home a saved McCluskey shot. McAdam got the second with a great shot. Clyde pulled one back before Conn got his second soon followed by Ronnie Glavin pitching in. Celtic were on top and two further goals followed by McAdam and Glavin.
Celtic were completely dominant in the second half and the poor show of the first was forgotten.
