Aberdeen 2 - 3 Celtic

Team Disorganised by Injuries to Mclvor & Ritchie

Fighting desperately against heavy odds, Aberdeen just failed to maintain their unbeaten record against Celtic "A" at Pittodrie.

The homesters lost McIvor for a good ten minutes after the start, and in the second half Ritchie was limping helplessly on the right wing.
Thus disorganised, the young Dons were seldom seen as a combined force, but it is to their credit that they were only one goal behind at the close.
If they had been full strength throughout there would have been a different story to tell.
Bennett in goal for the homesters had some good saves, but did not always inspire confidence. Temple was the better back, Stewart miskicking badly in the second half. Until he was injured Ritchie kept a strangle hold on Mills the Celtic leader.

Reid Overworked

Reid played well, but was overworked in the second half, when the forwards got little support. Apart from scoring a goal, Bain was not prominent, while Warnock and Scott worked hard with little success.
As a result of Devine having fall back to left half, Smith, the Mugiemoss winger, did not get much chance to shine, but had some clever moves.
Best for Celtic "A" were Morrison, Miller, Ryan, Reid, Divers, and Fitzsimmons. Mills, a brother of Willie Mills, was not a success as leader the attack.

Bain Opens Scoring,/p> Bain put the Young Dons ahead after Foley had been dispossessed by Scott, but Divers ran through to level matters before the change-over.
With a terrific penalty kick Temple put the homesters ahead shortly after the resumption, but Dawson soon equalised matters. After this it was all Celtic until the close, and, following several failures. Mills put on the winner.
