Celtic 2-0 Dundee

726

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.

    Any news yet on the total raised yesterday?

     

     

    I notice a few regulars are absent today,so I have this mental image of them sitting in a wee lock-up feverishly divvying the money into bank bags.

     

     

    A H-U-G-E well done to all concerned,btw,bucket-carriers and bucket-fillers alike!

    Because I had limited skills as a footballer I honed what little I had playing on the left wing. I am right footed and wasn’t great but always managed to get a game, simply cos I could play left wing. There weren’t too many good left footed players when I was growing up.

    Keeping your right elbow tucked in takes a hellof a distance off your shots.

     

     

    It will help keep them straight right enough.

     

     

    Keep your left arm straight, swing at half speed, they will go straight and long, trust me.

  4. canamalar,

     

     

    Can’t tell you that. Now that the secret’s out about the undergound threads, Agents Green and Whyte will need to go back to reading their instructions from carefully placed chicken pakoras made by the UFH on location at Cafe Kebab in Kinning Park.

    TET,

     

     

    My daughter collected us at Edinburgh Airport last year and the time and date on her parking ticket was :-

     

     

    11.11 11-11-’11.

     

     

    Absolutely true and she still has the ticket to prove it.

     

    ______________________________________________________________

     

     

    Numerology is fascinating and I’m sure it is more evidence of an angelic realm, and because of this, we must be very careful.

     

     

    A true story from me.

     

     

    One day I listened to a Hindu mp3 link (just monotonous chanting really) on the prisonplanet forums years ago. The enticer was that you would come into good fortune if you listened to the “full” link which was, if I can remember correctly, over an hour long.

     

     

    I put a bet on a horse (thoughtisfree i think) on betfair that was `130/1 to win, not being greedy I backed it each way at 28/1 to get a place.:) I was drawn by the name. I then proceeded to listen to the endless chanting whilst recovering from a hangover (it was a Saturday afternoon). I fell asleep but when I woke up and I checked the results later the donkey had came in 2nd.

     

     

    You may think this is coincidental and there is a definitely possibility of that being the case but after that I kept seeing the numbers 11.11 and 9:11 constantly and it was happening for years before I called on the Lord Jesus Christ to stop me seeing these numbers, as it was starting to freak me out a fair wee bit. They stopped after that.

     

     

     

    11:11 especially has so much attributed to it with the World War etc.

    I found it incredibly coincidental that I got bucket 33 yesterday. ;)

     

     

    I didnae mention it at the time as I didn’t really know anyone.

  11. petec

     

     

    Aye, numbers are facinating.

     

     

    After the fact, you could put just about anything down to the numbers, problem we have is the lack of insight to see things before.

     

     

    It’s a bit like dreams.

     

     

    Most people I know who remember some of their dreams, will encounter a part of their dreams the next day.

     

     

    Oh to see the numbers :>)

    Thanks for the reply,bud-and thanks for the efforts yesterday.

     

     

    Wee Oscar and his family have shown tremendous courage and resilience;they deserve every effort expended on their behalf.

    I’d have thought our wee conversation about right-angled triangles and numbers raised to the power four would have put you off numbers for life,haha!

     

     

    I’m still trying to figure out how that works…..
