notes

The GH labels Celtic's second goal as a Tom Harvey o.g., but the SC/DET both reckon it was McMenemy [“McMenemy scored a soft goal” (DET)] and we go with the latter/majority view.

Match Report

TTA report

Ibrox. Celtic always had more to offer. In “a fast game, occasionally inclined to toughness” (GH), right-back Harvey had a nightmare. His miskick led to the opener then his mistake let in Celtic again for “a soft goal” (DET, but perhaps even an OG by him). A drab second half saw the ref speak to several players.
