St Johnstone 1 Celtic 2 - 24th October 1999

Three days after losing Henrik Larsson to a horrific leg break in a UEFA cup match at Lyon John Barnes' Celtic side returned to SPL action, taking on St Johnstone in Perth.

With Rangers not in action the Hoops had a chance to close the gap at the top of the table to just 1 point. And despite struggling without their talismanic Swede they would do just that. It was, however, anything but a convincing win.

Slackness at the back gave St Johnstone a 1st half lead from their first serious attack of the game - Nathan Lowndes the scorer. Mark Burchill levelled the scores early in the 2nd half. And It would take a controversial injury time goal from the head of Morten Wieghorst for the win to be secured. Judge for yourself whether his header crossed the line.
