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.

hehehe – stupid huns.
Guys,I don’t know if it’s already been posted but the Donegal final is on BBC NI (Sky 992)
I was hoping Liverpool would get a result today.
After the lies and deceit that they have suffered.
Well we’ve been brought up with it.hopefully the tribunal wil give an honest verdict.
Thats all we can ask for.
Still think the hun underground is in overdrive.hh
I see Sevco have scored twice already. Once at each end.
Wd summdae please tell me. Is it sevco or newco? Its no a brain buster is it??
Jude…,
I just call them huns, it’s the only thing that’s no changed
Rangers 1 – 1 Montrose
Half Time

Whatever you prefer but to goad maximum rage from the undead Sevco is your best bet. But be warned, they may try to eat your brains.
I wonder how much booing there was at HT
Anyone hear it?
Sevco and the 4th tier of Scottish football really seems to annoy them, hence constantly used by myself!
Looking forward to the Arsenal game and how they do against the BPL champions.It should be a humdinger of a game.
I see Montrose are making heavy weather of their trip to Sevco, anyone know Sevco’s gate today? Have some meandered away?
From a quick whizz round cyberspace at scottish football blogs and forums, it looks as though Sevco has stuck with most fans :-)
Mon the Montrose 100 make some noise!!!
The huns appear to be playing like zombies.
HH!!

It might have been a good laugh to have had them in the SPL after all! :)
Is that pennyless arcade chucked then??
RIP BIG O!!
Lennon n Mc….Mjallby
No, haven’t seen it, will look for it ta.
I’m glad they’re fed up with it :) Knowing that is only going to encourage its use Mwahahaha
First of the Sevco £50,000 crossbar challenge- the winner didn’t get the ball half way up the park.
Mug punters.
ROW Z
Agree on RVP. If Halsey sends Shelvey off for that tackle, he has to do likewise for the MU player
Spending £15m on Allen + £10m on Borini while not boosting his striking options, looks like coming back to haunt Brendan Rodgers
For all you bucketeers yesterday
