Celtic 2 Raith Rovers 0 - 6th February 1997

After demolishing Hibs 4-1, Celtic travelled to Dunfermline where a 2-0 victory saw them close the gap to Rangers to just 6 points. But the wheels came off the Celtic comeback train three days later at Tannadice. A last minute goal for Dundee Utd handed Tommy Burns' side a 1-0 defeat - defeat made more bitter because Rangers were busy drawing with Hearts at Tynecastle. Another chance had passed.

When Raith came to visit Celtic Park the following midweek, hope that we claw back Rangers lead were beginning to fade. In the game itself, Paulo Di Canio opens the scoring for Celtic early in the second half. Jorge Cadete completes the win with 10 minutes left on the clock
