Going into this game at Celtic Park, Tommy Burns Celtic were on a dismal run against their Old Firm rivals. It had been nine games since Celtic had last beaten Rangers - almost two years worth of football. Goals from Malky MacKay and Paulo Di Canio give Celtic the win, but defeat to first division Falkirk (after a replay) in the semi final would put the final nail in the coffin for Burns. Any hope that this game would stop the Old Firm rot were quickly blown out of the water. Celtic would lose the more important league match 10 days later, and win only 2 of the following 15 matches against Rangers until Martin O'Neil's teams reminded us how to beat Rangers.
