Scottish League Cup - Sectional Match
Venue: CELTIC PARK
CELTIC 4 ARBROATH 1
Scorers: MacLeod, McCluskey, Nicholas, Dobbin
Att: 5,200
Celtic v Arbroath is a rare fixture in the Scottish game. Personally I have only see it on two occasions. The first and only one at Celtic Park was 30 years ago in on the 1st September. Celtic enjoyed a free scoring start to the season and this match was no different as they scored four in a very comfortable victory.
Charlie Nicholas
The scorers on the night included Charlie Nicholas and from my records it was the first time I had saw Charlie score, mainly due to the fact he was just returning after a long lay off following a broken leg. A young reserve player, Jim Dobbin made his debut and also managed to get on the score sheet. John Buckley was another debutant.
The match was played in front of a very low crowd at Celtic Park of 5,200 as the midweek sectional format of the League Cup proved a real turn off for supporters.
