Celtic 2 St Johnstone 0 - 25th October 1997

Next up for Celtic would be mid-table St Johnstone at Celtic Park. Despite a nervy opening, Celtic snapped up all 3 points thanks to 4 minutes burst of activity in the first half. The first goal came from the boot of Henrik Larsson - the swede playing a headed 1-2 with a defender before lifting the ball over Alan Main in the St Johnstone goal. Three minutes later and it was 2-0, Simon Donnelly sticking away another penalty after Stephane Mahe had been felled in the box.

By the time the final whistle sounded Celtic were top of the league - while the Hoops were sweeping up another 3 points, Rangers were losing at Tannadice. We began to believe.
