ON THIS DAY 18TH NOVEMBER 1972 Celtic 4-2 Heart of Midlothian, League Division 1 Connelly absent with flu with McNeill, Murdoch and Macari all injured. Rave reviews for Jinkys performance. Hearts play in an Ajax style strip. This was the only occasion they played in this strip at Celtic Park. On the same day Celtic drew 2-2 with Hearts in a Reserve League match at Tynecastle. The Celtic team was Connaghan, J. Davidson, Watt, McNamara, McDonald, Murdoch, Wilson, V. Davidson, Hancock, White, Prentice. Sub OHara. Both of Celtics goals were scored by Hancock. Report This was an excellent game watched by an appreciative crowd. Hearts took the game to Celtic and the defence looked uncertain without McNeill and Connelly and twice the excellent Ford took advantage to score for Hearts. Dalglishs goal was a thing of beauty when he played a one two before lashing in an unstoppable shot. In the second half Hood found form and set up Johnstone for a fine goals after Deans had equalised during a scramble in which Garland appeared to be impeded. Hood scored a glorious goal to finish it off after calmly guiding in a Johnstone cross. Johnstone was lucky to stay on the filed after a confrontation with Menmuir. Teams Celtic:- Williams, McGrain, Quinn (Lennox), McCluskey, Hay, Brogan, Johnstone, Deans, Dalglish, Hood, Callaghan Goals:- Dalglish (40), Deans (65), Johnstone (73), Hood (83) Hearts:- Garland, Sneddon, Clunie, Thomson, Anderson, Brown, Park, Menmuir, Ford, Carruthers (Lynch), T Murray Goals:- Ford (13, 50) Referee: J Paterson Att:- 28,000.
