Adam McLean,
Paddy Connolly, and Willie McStay.
Nearing the conclusion of his career,
former favorite Joe Cassidy (who had scored the goal that won the Scottish Cup in 1923) now playing for Dundee and has little effect on the Celtic defense
. The Black slave ballad “Poor Old Joe” is sung by Celtic fans,
