Review
An entertaining match until the crowd spilled onto the pitch after the smoke bomb was thrown into the Hibs fans near the corner flag. McStay and McAvennie combined brilliantly for the Celtic goal and Pat Bonner made a series of impressive saves from Hibs' Paul Kane. It all petered out after play was restarted after the smoke bomb incident.
