Celtic trailed to a controversial Darren Jackson goal early on but surged back in the second half. The match turned chaotic when Collins collided with Hibs keeper Leighton, leaving the latter stretchered off with a head injury. With no substitute goalkeeper available, Jackson took over in goal. He immediately conceded to Pierre Van Hoojidonk but, remarkably, Leighton returned to the field while still bleeding. The referee refused to allow Leighton back on, forcing Jackson to play outfield while his teammate watched from the sidelines.
