Match Report

European champions Celtic took on FA Cup winners Spurs in a high-scoring pre-season friendly which delighted the 91,000 plus crowd.

This is a game that was fondly remembered for years to come and was often shown at functions by the Celtic film club.

Despite it being a friendly this was a showpiece game by two top sides. The amount of talent on show was amazing, Johnstone, Murdoch and Auld against Mackay, Greaves and Gilzean.

Within a minute Tottenham were ahead with a sweeping move that Jimmy Greaves finished. Celtic fought back strongly and Bertie Auld scored one of his finest goals after playing two 1-2’s and beating Pat Jennings.

Late on Celtic went for broke with Chalmers hitting the post and Johnstone striking the bar with a lobbed shot.

At the end of the game the huge Hampden crowd gave both signs a rousing reception on a warm sunny day.
