Having thrashed third division Berwick Rangers 7-0 in the 3rd round, Celtic were handed a tricky journey to Perth to face St Johnstone in the 4th Round. Wim Jansen's side went into the tie under severe pressure - defeat in the opening two league games had left them rooted to the bottom of the table. A nervy goalless 90 minutes ensued, followed by an equally nervous 30 minutes of extra time in which Celtic grabbed the single goal that would send them through to the Quarter Finals - the goal coming via a Simon Donnelly penalty.
It wasn't pretty, but the result proved to be something of a watershed moment - the new look Hoops would remain unbeaten for the best part of three months.
