Celtic 2 Hibs 0 - 26th February 1997, Scottish Cup 4th Round Replay

Having seen off Clydebank in a 5-0 rout at Firhill Stadium in the 3rd round of the Scottish Cup, Celtic were given a tricky away tie against Hibs at Easter Road. A 1-1 draw in the first game led to this replay.

Celtic booked their place in the last eight with a 2-0 win. Despite early Hibs resistance, Celtic dominated the match and could easily have won by more. In the end, it was two fine strikes which settled the tie - the first from Phil O'Donnell, the second from the boot of Paulo Di Canio.

Celtic's reward for this win? A home tie against Rangers in the quarter final.
