Review

Celtic blew Hibs away at Parkhead on a bare, bone dry park which gave the players great difficulty.

Burns' goal was voted Sportscene's goal of the season by Jock Stein on the BBC. Burns started the move and followed up field to take a pass and score with a powerful, spectacular right footed shot from outside the area.

Ater that Hibs capitulated and Celtic were six up after 61 minutes and then when down the gears.

The partnership of McCluskey and Crainie up front is blossoming.
