Kilmarnock 1 Celtic 3 - 24th August 1996

Having progressed to the 1st Round proper in the UEFA cup during the midweek, it was back to domestic business for Celtic, and a potentially tricky journey to Rugby Park to face Kilmarnock.

The first 45 see's a disjointed performance from Celtic - Mark Reilly's goal giving Kilmarnock a deserved 1-0 lead at half time. But ten minutes into the second half Tommy Burns plays his trump card - Paulo Di Canio. The Italian was making his domestic debut in the hoops and his arrival instantly changes the game. Di Canio scores an equaliser 5 minutes after coming on, Andy Thom puts Celtic ahead, finishing off a superb counter attacking move, and Jorge Cadete rounds off the victory with the third goal 2 minutes from time.
