This peach was the one that stopped 10

Typical old firm fan revisionism, they never let the facts stop their romanticised versions of the truth.

1. That goal took Celtic into second place a point behind Rangers.

2. In season 97/98 Celtic took 4 points out of a possible 12 against Rangers in the League and obviously Rangers managed to attain 7 points aganst their rivals and knocked them out of the Scottish Cup for good measure as well that season thus indicating that on a head to head basis they had the upper hand.

3. On the 12th of April Rangers beat Celtic to go ahead of them in the league on goal difference.

4. The "goals" that stopped the "ten in a row" were scored by Stephen Glass and Ally Mitchell had Rangers managed to avoid 1-0 losses against Aberdeen and Kilmarnock after the 12th of April they would have finished level with Celtic on points and goal difference but with a better record of goals scored.

5. If any team can lay claim to stopping Rangers achieving "ten in a row" it is Aberdeen as Rangers dropped 7

Rangers dropped 7 points against Aberdeen in that season whilst The Dons managed to gift a poor Celtic side all 12 points that year.

No surprises there then.
