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.

Bloody Idiots Give Others Trouble
( Bigot Fc )
ROW Z
I still maintain if Halsey had booked Shelvey + Evra for earlier challenges, Shelvey wouldn’t have went in as full blooded as he did
Still, it looks a better game now than it did in the 1st half

Could well be right. Again I thought Evra did go for the ball. Low down no follow through.
Opened up now. Could do with another red to get it back to 10 v 10
Just waiting for McCall to say
Hard game against aberdeen ….. SPL is our priority …might have to rest a few midweek, no disrespect to Ra’gers
Well that was an unexpected bonus that 3-3 was.
I really dislike that repugnant McCall and I quite simply see them lying down again midweek.
Sevco the team that are struggling in Div 3 and Motherwell top of the SPL – watch this space.

Cmon Donegal, let’s go!
Well done Van Persie
It wasn’t me FC. up against it.

Scottish clubs consider regional European league idea
By Chris McLaughlin
Senior Football Reporter, BBC Scotland
So Mr. McLaughlin reckons that ZombieFC will be taking part in this tournament, as evidenced by the leader picture containing a ZombieFC player wearing the defunct jersey?
Hahahaha!!! It’s gone beyond parody. Now I genuinely just believe they are dumb as a doorpost.
The referee is an absolute disgrace in this Liverpool game.
TMWLT
That Van Persie challenge was far worse than Shelvey’s.
Dannygall @ 15:05
Hope you are wrong
Not taking the opportunity to watch your following weeks opponents while they are in action is unprofessional
mickbhoy1888
Lenny knows fine well how they will play.
We will get fouled with total impunity.
Not much more to be said.
Come on Donegal…… Pride of all!
Get it up them the mighty Montrose!!!
It says on BBC Sevco: “A daisy-cutter free kick from Rangers (sic) captain Lee McCulloch screams wide of the target.”

Wonder if Sandaza is enjoying his wee shot at “warfare” today?
Sorry but the performance of Mark Halsey needs looking at.
A more one sided performance you usually only see in SPL matches (or Division 3 matches nowadays).
He gave a red card for something Van persie got a yellow for.
He didn’t give Liverpool one of two clear penalties in quick succession.
He gave Man U a very soft penalty.
He gave free kicks to Man U at every turn but refused to do the same for similar fouls in Liverpool’s favour.
A completely inept performance.
Today’ result at Aberdeen is a factor in our SPL performances.
Unlike seasons of yore when every point droppped increased the gap between ourselves and Rangers we know and the players know the consequences are no where near as fatal.
The ball game has changed, perhaps for ever and the game and msm is going to have to adjust.
Call it oldthink and newthink.
My nose tells me Sevco will not recover and other clubs will come to realise this.
What an opportunity to change the natire of our game from top to bottom.
What’s all this media talk about the Zombies in a European league? Have they all forgotten that as a new club they don’t qualify for European competition?
Never mind the fact that they are not in the top thirty sides in Scotland right now …
Phil Taylor ko’d in the darts. Tells his opponent to eff off. Pompous ass!!
Get in there Montrose, 1-1
Superb Montrose!
Could be a lot of angry shuffling corpes appearing on the streets of Govan shortly.
