Hearts 1 Celtic 2 - 18th October 1997

Four days after booking their place in the League Cup Final, Celtic travelled to Edinburgh to take on League leaders Hearts at Tynecastle. It was to be Celtic's first major test in the league and, by the end of the 90 minutes, the signs were good.

Recent signing, Danish International defender Marc Reiper, gives Celtic a 15th minute lead with a well taken strike from the penalty spot. The lead is doubled by the increasingly influential Henrik Larsson just six minutes later. Celtic were coasting. Hearts pull a goal back in the second half through Colin Cameron, but Jansen's side see out the victory, and lift themselves above the Tynecastle side into second place in the league.
