Hearts 1 Celtic 2 - 11th January 1997

Having scored 11 goals in the previous two games, Celtic travelled to Tynecastle in fine form and confidence. Having failed to beat Hearts on the road in two previous meetings during the season, Tommy Burns' side were determined to take all 3 points home with them. A scrappy game was brightened when Jorge Cadete opens the scoring for Celtic. But a young Jim Hamilton grabs an equaliser to send the sides in 1-1 at half time. The decisive goal is scored by Jorge Cadete with only 20 minutes remaining, the Portuguese strikers 10th goal in only 6 games. Celtic were still 8 points behind Rangers, but at least the ship had been steadied.
