Rangers 2 Celtic 2 - 17th October 1987

By the time the 2nd Old Firm game of the season came about it was Hearts who were setting the pace at the top of the league - Celtic having won two and drawn two of their 4 games since drawing with Aberdeen at Celtic Park. Going into the game, Rangers were still 4 points behind Celtic, 6 behind Hearts.

The game itself would become notorious due to a bust up between Frank McAvennie, Chris Woods and Terry Butcher, with all three being sent off. The incident would eventually end up in the courts, with McAvennie being cleared of any wrongdoing. Celtics goals that day came from Andy Walker and Peter Grant. The clip contains only these two goals, but does include Peter Grant doing an Artur Boruc 20 years too early.








With Hibs beating Hearts in the Edinburgh derby, Celtic would move to within a point of the top of the league.
