Celtic faced Hibs in February 1996 with a nine-match unbeaten run, but a controversial 25th-minute strike by Darren Jackson put the visitors ahead. The mood turned chaotic when Hibs keeper Jim Leighton suffered a clash of heads with John Collins, leaving him bloodied and stretchered off. With no substitutes available, Jackson was forced to take over in goal for Hibs.
The swap created chaos as Celtic swarmed the inexperienced Jackson. Remarkably, Leighton returned to the action, but the referee refused to let him re-enter because he was still bleeding. The bizarre standoff saw Jackson return to the midfield while Leighton watched from the sidelines, setting the stage for Celtic's eventual comeback.
