Fabulous goals from Gary Hooper and Victory Wanyama put Celtic back on winning ways, their first victory in four games in September but Dundee held out until minutes before the break, aided by an excellent performance from Rab Douglas.
Another ex-Celt, Gary Irvine, had a penalty claim 7 minutes in but the ref wasn’t convinced; Irvine’s tumble was a tad overdramatic. Celtic were cut open on 15 minutes when Colin Nish found space inside the box but his shot was blocked. The rebound broke to John Baird who should have converted but fired over the bar.
A minute later Lassad, making his home debut, dribbled to the edge of the six yard box when he appeared to be tripped but again referee, Beaton, denied the claim.
Kris Commons then stepped up the pressure. His cross was dummied by Lassad but Gary Hooper’s shot was saved. Commons then played a diagonal ball through to Lassad who shot wide.
Charlie Mulgrew brought a good save from Douglas from a free kick on the edge of the D after Wanyama was brought down. The Dundee keeper then topped that effort with a save from Forrest after a good cutback from Lassad, before saving again from the same player a minute later.
Lassad’s movement eventually brought a reward when Beaton pointed to the penalty spot after the former Deportivo striker had his legs clipped. Scott Brown has been reliable from the spot this year but this effort didn’t get anywhere near the post, allowing Rab Douglas another opportunity to show what he can do.
Brown made amends a minute before the break when his forward pass was collected by Gary Hooper. Hooper still had a lot to do but nutmeged his marker before firing home, from an angle, into the far corner.
The advantage was almost doubled a minute into the second half when Gary Irvine tried to chest the ball back to Rab Douglas but found the post instead, however, Dundee were two behind three minutes later.
Victor Wanyama shot low and hard from 26 yards, clipping the inside of the post before crossing the line.
Lassad almost opened his scoring account for Celtic with a good header but Rab Douglas was a match to the attempt again. Tony Watt used his impressive strength to get a cross to Gary Hooper, who steadied before shooting against the upright.

I was referring to his book.
The amount that HMRC claim of Them is incidental, at this stage.
They cannot pay.
It is the verdict that will be important and what caused the verdict.
That is what RTC’s book will contain.

Shame on Peter Lawwell and Celtic’s PR department to have altered Celtic’s Social Mission Statement. This is political correctness gone mad!

Shelvey deserved that red card
‘Ol Fergie will be warming up the hairdryer as we speak
Shelvey deservedly sent off after a wild challenge on Evans
If Halsey had did his job earlier and booked Shelvey that incident wouldn’t have happened
The ref has ruined the game

Aberdeen are awful.
They have no crowd and it must be down to the football Craig Brown has them playing.
Shelvey used the side of his foot with a bent leg from the side and in front of Evans, played the ball and avoided any specific follow through. No trailing leg action. Evans goes down like he’s been shot.
I thought it was a fair challenge without intent.

Tackles like that are how players get seriously injured. There is no place for them in the modern game
That tackle belongs in 1970’s football
3-1 to Motherwell
I really hate them.
Watch how they fold on Wednesday or whenever it is against McCall’s pal then watch how they assault everything in sight next weekend.
Motherwell go 3-1 up. Massive game for us next week at Fir Park. 3 points a must
The only good point about them beating Aberdeen is that Brown will be facing the sack
That will please most sheepies as he has bored them to death for the last year or so
Aberdeen score. Now 2-3
McGinn scored a cracker to make it 2-3 no bad end to the game
TMWTL
I agree with you about deliberate high or straight tackles in general. Don’t think that was either. The ball was in the air and there to be won. The player clearly plays the ball with his full instep from a bent leg in front of the other player.
ROW Z
I though it was a very similar challenge to Elbows on Kayal last December for which i said at the time Elbows should have seen red
Next Saturday at Fir Park you will see plenty of those challenges from the mullets team
Yeeha! 3-3 Aberdeen
3-3 :o)
WELL done Aberdeen!:-)
yessssssssssssss. spl
lol
klv
I watch the last 5mins or so of the Aberdeen game and then miss both goals at Anfield
Typical!
TMWLT
Elbows challenge was full of malice and was deliberately designed to cause injury. I don’t think Shelvey had any intention other than playing the ball. Shelvey clearly plays a full ball unlike elbows. Could be wrong though.
