Celtic trailed Darren Jackson's controversial early goal but surged forward in the second half. Leighton was stretchered off after a clash with Collins, leaving Hibs with no goalkeeper. Substitute Darren Jackson donned the gloves, only to fumble a high ball, allowing Pierre van Hoojidonk to equalize. Despite Leighton's attempts to return, the referee denied him due to blood, leaving Jackson stranded in midfield while Celtic continued to swarm the goal.
