By the time Rangers came-a-first-footing on January 2nd, the Ibrox club were still fourth in the league, 5 points behind their Old Firm rivals with one game in hand. Aberdeen had leapfrogged Hearts into second place, just two points back, with Hearts a further point adrift.
Celtic had a chance to put some clear water between themselves and Rangers, and it was a chance they took. A Frank McAvennie double gave Celtic all three points - the first a beautiful sweeping move brilliantly created by Paul McStay's defence splitting pass; the second, a powerful header past a despairing Graham Roberts - finishing his second succesive Glasgow Derby as a makeshift Goalkeeping replacement for Chris Woods, who had been taken off injured earlier in the game. Results elsewhere went Celtic's way, with both Aberdeen and Hearts managing only to draw.
