Celtic 5 Kilmarnock 1 - 30th October 1999

Nine days after losing Henrik Larsson to a season ending injury Celtic took to the field against Kilmarnock sporting the Swede's replacement, Ian Wright.

The Arsenal legend, just a month shy of his 36th birthday, had arrived at Celtic Park three days earlier on a free transfer from West Ham - on a day Celtic would lose at home to Motherwell and miss out on the chance to move to the top of the league.

Wright's signing would fail to make any real impact on the season as a whole. But for one day at least there was a genuine air of excitement inside Celtic Park and a temporary lifting of the gloom which had fallen over the club after Larsson's injury.

Wright would score on what would be an eventful debut for the veteran striker, adding Celtic's fourth to Mark Vidukas hattrick. Craig Burley would supply the fifth goal of an emphatic second half performance.
