Just a few hours after stumbling home from the St Andrew's Night Celebration, York Hearts members were up and out once again, for the long journey north to Tynecastle.
The lunch-time kick-off meant the six hardy travellers set off from York city centre at 6.30am, with York still clothed in darkness.
Gavstro Aitchison drew the short straw and drove as the others slept, snored and grumbled in the passenger seats.
The game was far from a classic, but Hearts had more of the clear-cut chances. Celtic looked like clinching a rather fortunate 1-0 win until the dying seconds, when referee Kenny Clarke belatedly realised the rules applied to those in hoops as well as those in maroon, and gave Hearts a last-minute penalty. Andrius Velicka maintained his impressive record against the Parkhead side, to earn Hearts a 1-1 draw.
That made for a slightly more enjoyable drive back to York.
