Trivia

  • Celtic played in green socks.
  • Murdo MacLeod scores Celtic's 100th goal of the season with a spectacular volley.
  • St Mirren play in unfamiliar all red strip.

Review

A strong wind spoiled this game. MacLeod used it to his advantage to score with a glorious 20 yard volley.

Late on McGrain saved the day with a fine goal line clearance after Bonner was beaten.

During this game Bonner was having trouble kicking the ball further than 20 yards when facing the gale forced wind.
