22 January 1994 - A Drawful Day For Football (Sorry)

On 22 January 1994, the full slate of six Scottish top flight matches resulted in a point for everyone as all six matches ended in draws.

The day featured match-ups at both ends of the table, as league leaders Rangers were held to a scoreless draw at second-place Aberdeen, while bottom club Dundee held off second-bottom Raith Rovers, 2-2. Elsewhere, Celtic and Dundee United played to another scoreless draw, as did Partick Thistle and Motherwell, while Hearts battled Kilmarnock to a 1-1 draw at Tynecastle.

The day's most surprising result came at St. Johnstone, where the tenth-place side survived their encounter with third-place Hibernian, 2-2. It was part of a seven-match unbeaten streak for the hosts, but it proved to be a brief respite--three teams were relegated at the end of the season to clear the path for a ten-team top flight the following season, and St. Johnstone were the last to go, joining Raith Rovers and Dundee.

Rangers went on to win the league, while Dundee United lifted the Scottish Cup and Hibs took the Scottish League Cup.

9 May 1998 - Celtic Ends Their Title Drought

On 9 May 1998, Celtic defeated St. Johnstone 2-0 on the last day of the Scottish Premier Division Season to secure their first league title in ten years.

The title race went down to the wire, with Celtic starting the day only two points ahead of Old Firm rivals Rangers, who were playing at Dundee United. Celtic striker Henrik Larsson (pictured) put his team ahead in the third minute, but the Hoops were unable to extend the lead for the remainder of the first half.

Early in the second half, word broke that Rangers had gone up 0-2 against Dundee United, sending a nervous ripple through the 50,000-strong crowd Celtic Park. A Rangers win, combined with a draw for Celtic, would hand 'Gers their tenth consecutive league title. All it would take was a single St. Johnstone goal.

That goal almost came midway through the second half, when Saints striker George O'Boyle narrowly missed putting his head on a cross in front of an open goal. Shortly afterward, Celtic substitute Harald Brattbakk sealed the win for the hosts with a 72nd-minute strike to put Celtic up 2-0. The day finished as it had started, with Celtic two points clear of Rangers, giving Celtic their first title since 1988.
