Celtic went into the February 1996 fixture unbeaten, but a controversial goal from Darren Jackson put Hibs ahead. The game turned chaotic when John Collins clashed heads with Hibs keeper Jim Leighton, leaving Leighton stretchered off with a head wound.
With no sub keeper available, Jackson donned the gloves. Celtic immediately capitalized with a tap-in for Pierre Van Hoojidonk, but the drama continued as Leighton attempted to return, only to be refused by the referee due to his bleeding injury.
