Trivia

  • Only 11,900 in attendance. Rangers home gates are even less. There are calls for an inquiry into Scottish football conditions for fans. High unemployment and the recent alcohol ban are given as two of the main reasons for low crowds.

Review

Celtic played well but another late lapse gave them a nervous last ten minutes.

Burns and McCluskey were best Celts on the day.
