Celtic 5 Hibs 0 - 7th September 1996

Next up for Celtic in the league was Hibs. Having changed the game at Rugby Park, Paulo Di Canio made his first league start, and the form shown in the second half against Kilmarnock was carried over into this game.

The Celtic attack, with Van Hooijdonk, Cadete, Thom and Di Canio to call upon, tore the Hibs defence to shreds all afternoon, although Celtic's first goal come from the head of Hibs player Pat McGinlay, who puts the ball into his own net. Jorge Cadete then grabs a double to give Celtic a 3-0 half time lead, before Brian O'Neil makes it 4-0. The 5-0 scoreline is completed by another fantastic Pierre Van Hooijdonk free kick.
