Trivia
- Frank McGarvey broke his leg during this game.
Review
One of Celtic's most important games of the season. After losing to Aberdeen four days earlier Celtic could not afford to drop any more points.
Burns' early goal settled them and when United pressed Bonner and his defence stood firm.
In the second half Celtic missed chances and were put out when McGarvey was carried off with a broken leg.
However Burns eased the nerves with a glorious second goal with a powerful shot after great work from McCluskey and the young Danny Crainie.
