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.

Up Donegal!
Donegal Champions yesssssssssssss

You are taking into account SevCo season books are half the price of Celtic’s as well as ‘on the day’ tickets being £15 aren’t you
Take into account a 3 match package that fans have forked out for and a crowd of 41,000 on September weekend is an incredible crowd
SevCo need full houses at every single home game (inc Cups) to stave off admin. If Celtic were in such a parlous financial state we would have full house signs up at every home game
With the lack of television pictures, it would have been interesting to see if all of the SB holders had turned up at Ibrox today

BBC jabbering about how autyumn has suddenly supplanted summer. I don’t know when we last had a warm and sunny day here in North Ayrshire
Try 1980, one good reason why I left Killie all those years ago. In fact I’ll need to phone my mum and confirm your claim :-)
Its all over Donegal win the SamMcGuire
Damn! Mayo lose by 5
61 years and counting
Is’nt Croke Park the 3rd/4th largest stadium in Europe?

Ye olde Arsenal wage cap will mean they will always be prey to agents etc who think £80k a week is insulting.
When do the much vaunted Financial Fair Play rules actually start? Read today where the boss of Qatar owned PSG was discussing a new €100M per year shirt sponsorship deal with the, er, Bank of Qatar. The deal they had before was €3Mish.
Travel info required bhoys,
anyone know a decent mid price hotel in Amsterdam,

Congratulations to Donegal, and commiserations to Mayo.
My big mate at game with members of his extended Donegal family. He will be in some state tonight!
HH!!
Ten Men Won The League:
The apathy in our support is rank right now. The Green character has them in his hand, helped by a compliant Lap-top Loyal. Contrast that to Celtic’s efforts: no imagination, no passion, glib Emails to supporters.
They don’t even answer Emails asking about tickets for games.

Similarly there were questions on ethiad sponsor deal with Man City given the airline make big losses every year -they are just trying to find ways of the owner underwriting the debt

‘The apathy in our support is rank right now’
That must be why we’ve sold out CP for all 3 CL games then
well done Donegal -no luck Mayo
combined population of both counties just under 300,000
both rising in recent years

BSR spoke yesterday about the heartbreaking sight of massive empty seats at Celtic Park, I countered that we were in a Depression, the start of one really.
Perhaps it is time to drop the Season Book prices heavily to ensure more fans are in (over 10%). This seasons strategies regarding the CL games get a massive thumbs up from me as they have genuinely rewarded the diehards first and foremost.

Was wondering how long it would be before we had attendance comparisons. Yesterday was NOT a ST game for up to 7000 fans

Some 2 weeks ago I decided to buy an Overseas Season Ticket and contacted the club to express an interest. I left all my details – which they already had – and was informed that they would be in touch.
I’m still waiting!
There is something that is not working within the marketing dept at CFC as certain posters on here have pointed out over the last few weeks and months.
HH!!
Well done Donegal !
To be fair to Mayo, Donegal’s passing & handling was much sharper and they deserved their win, Mayo did well to hang in after a terrible start.
saltires/voguepunter,
cheers for the suggestions,going at start of december
will go have a look just now

Indeed and City are paying David Silva £52m over the next five years.
Just looked up the article and what a quote from the president of PSG
‘Mr Platini says we need to be creative. We have few a few ideas’

One of the reasons I really want Arsenal to succeed today.
It is great watching players like Yaya and Sergio but they are bought as the finished article and they are skewering football when you really think about it.
Regarding yesterday’s game.
I forgot that this was the game v Team 12, and so didn’t count on my daughter’s ST.
When the ST didn’t allow her in, the guy at the turnstyle allowed us to go in at the same time using mine.

I agree that Scottish football is vastly overpriced compared to similar leagues in Europe. But would a reduction in prices have an effect in what we are able to pay for our key players on a weekly basis? I’m sure somebody somewhere has done the maths on this. It would be interesting to see the figures
Instead of paying £30 to see Celtic v Dundee, people can watch it live in various pubs throughout Glasgow and beyond due to illegal streams
Sorry fewer ‘few’s in that quote
‘Mr Platini says we need to be creative. We have a few ideas’
I had a season ticket for a long time – from about 1990 when the ground tickets were reintroduced until I left Glasgow.
When Fergus McCann came in one of the things he promised was that he would make available a certain number of STs at low prices. I think my first one was 250.
After he left the prices started to rise steeply and before long had doubled. I kept buying it but it was a struggle and I can imagine that many people were priced out and have never been able to return.
I know this issue isn’t exclusive to Celtic but I think it’s sad that the kind of people who used to pack the terraces in the glory days probably couldn’t afford to see live football now.

Despite having enjoyed much of Arsenal’s football over the years ( there were a couple of games where I didn’t obviously) I can only have so much sympathy. It’s a bit like Simon Cowell feeling disadvantaged because Bill Gates has more money. It’s all relative I suppose.
Just Champion, Donegal.
Vindication for all the rubbish spouted last year against a new team on the rise.
RTE pundits having to revise their views on how the game will be played in the future; i.e. with the head.

I know what you are saying but I reckon this season they have a lot more about them. It is the first time I have seen them this season and they have been excellent. 21/1 is very generous odds for Arsenal, IMO, to win that League.
Get in there.
The odds just Shrunk…….
Petec
21/1! I’ll have bit o that!
And on cue Arsenal equalize.
Are we really being expected to play murderwell on 29 / 9′ then travel to Russia to ply 3 days later….??
Ladbrokes now have them at 20/1. Well worth a shekel or 2.
