Celtic 1 Rangers 0 - 25th February 1990, Scottish Cup 4th Round

With the league well and truly over for Celtic - they were back in 4th place, 11 points adrift of leaders Rangers at the time of this game - Celtic looked once more to the Scottish Cup to salvage something from their season. A narrow 3rd Round victory over Forfar had set them up for this early Old Firm cup clash. It was the first time the two teams had met before the final in 20 years.

In the end it was a game decided by a single goal. Celtic's Tommy Coyne grabs the winner, sliding the ball into the back on the net, before being kicked into it himself by a cheerful John Brown, who obviously can't contain his delight at Celtic scoring. Unfortunately, Celtic would lose the final to Aberdeen on penalties.
