Review

Rangers controlled most of the game and theit win was hard earned.McCluskey rugby tackled MacDonald from behind and Parlane needed a lucky rebound after Williams saved with his legs. Celtic's equaliser was fortunate as it took a wicked deflection off Smith to enter the net. Conn's peristence earned him the winner in the final minute when he headed in a Young cross. Hay, handicapped by an earlier injury could not rise to challenge him. Celtic badly missing the influence of Bobby Murdoch in midfield.
