After a trophyless first season under new Manager David Hay, Celtic went into the Manager's second season under a certain amount of pressure to get back amongst the main prizes in Scottish Football. During the pre-season pacey forward Alan McInally was brought in from Ayr United and the club continued to be linked with a striker until the finally swooped for Watford F.C. young Scottish striker Mo Johnston in October. In November the club signed Irishman Pierce O'Leary to bolster its defence. A pre-season tour of Ireland was followed up with two home friendlies against Arsenal, who featured ex-Celtic hero Charlie Nicholas who was rounded jeered during the match and also against Nottingham Forest who featured recently transferred Jim McInally.
