Soccer: Hartson targets place in history books

CELTIC striker John Hartson will have Old Firm history in his sights when he faces Rangers on Saturday.

The Wales international has hit the net in the last four league meetings against Rangers, a feat only accomplished previously by Jimmy Johnstone between 1971-73 and John Collins in season 1993-94, but no-one has yet scored in five back-to-back league outings.

Hartson claimed the winner at Ibrox in October even though it took a deflection off Zurab Khizanishvili and he has looked lean and sharp with three goals in his last two appearances.
