Celtic beat Rangers 3-1 at Parkhead with goals from Mark Mcghee, Billy Stark and a Terry Butcher own-goal.

Five of the victorious players were on hot toddies the night before the Old Firm game because they were suffering from heavy colds. Hibs beat Hearts 2-1 despite having Gordon Rae (above) sent off after only 16 minutes for a crunching tackle on John Colquhoun. Tottenham defender Gary Stevens was hospitalised with a snapped medial ligament after being tackled by Wimbledon’s Vinny Jones. Spurs won the game 3-2.
