Celtic returned to goal scoring form in their 4-0 win over Hearts, but they also had their goalkeeper to thank for a fine performance at Tynecastle.
Fraser Forster has received many plaudits already this season for his match winning displays, and he proved unbeatable again in Wednesday night's SPL fixture.
A double save in the first half from point blank range was amongst the highlights, as was a late penalty save from Marius Zaliukas to ensure the clean sheet was kept.
While Forster was putting on a masterclass in keeping the ball out of the net, Russell Anderson was doing the opposite in Aberdeen's defeat to Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
The Dons' defence was shaky throughout against Terry Butcher's side, and Anderson summed up their performance perfectly when he laid the ball on a plate for Billy McKay to find the net.
Caught under a long ball, Anderson's flat footed leap to clear served only to see him head the ball into his opponent's path, rather than clear from danger in the opposite direction.
