On This Day in 2001, Martin O’Neill’s Celtic took a step towards an eventual Treble with a 3-1 win over Rangers at Hampden. After being beaten by Rangers back in November, the Ibrox club were favourites going into the game but were soundly beaten.
Chris Sutton gave the Celts the lead after just six minutes. The Englishman benefited as Vega’s header hit the bar.
Next, Henrik bullied Bob Malcolm before chipping Klos. It was a splendid goal from The King of Kings.
