Celtic 1 Aberdeen 0 - 2nd November 1996

Going into this fixture against Aberdeen, Celtic still trailed Rangers by 2 points at the top of the table. A win was vital. But as the game progressed and chances were missed - and word came through from Starks Park that Rangers were winning, having been 1-0 down - it looked like more ground could be lost. However, Celtic were not to be denied. And with 20 minutes to go Paulo Di Canio slots home a Simon Donnelly cross to give Celtic a deserved lead. Five minutes later the news reaches Celtic Park that Raith have equalised. Both games finish without further goals. The celebrations at the end aren't just for a hard fought win. Celtic were back at the top of the league. Not that it would last long.
