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.

Existence is always stranger than anything we know…I just seen a midget in a wig saying: “toupee or not toupee, that is the question.”
Thoughts on a great day.
Well done to those that pulled this together.I was proud to lead a great bunch, Team J,you did Oscar proud. The warmth and banter between the bucketeers and supporters was a joy to behold.
Good to meet Voguepunter St John Doyle and Wee Geraldine, old pals Kilbowie Kelt BJMAC SPHTB TBB Hamiltontim MWD Minx1888 CRC amongst others. Bobby Murdochs bad ankle took time to give encouragement. Gasgow Celtic at its best.

B-side of Strange Town I seem to recall? Now sounds like modren-day Weller, n’est-ce que pas? But at the time it sounded strangely out of character – a bit gentle?

Only thing that looked alright was the wee man’s photo on my chest.
To all involved today we done some good work today.
God bless Oscar and his extended family proud of you all.
I keep smiling like a big idiot everytime I think of that pic of Oscar on CQN yesterday…we all have a lot to learn from the wee man.
Joy is an infectious emotion we should try and ‘infect’ others with as much as possible- the light is everywhere around us, its only our own darkness that blinds us to its presence.

No offence mate,but may be a bit of a passion killer .hh
I’ll stick to my lederhosen.
It is scandalous that Wee Oscar and all the kids in his situation are not being treated in the UK.
What are we doing exactly in Afghanistan? Cultivating Smack would be my guess but I’m always cynical.
Today the Celtic support and others have shamed the shameful people who continually let down the populace. I hope they are not sleeping tonight.
Get the troops out now.

Pleasure to meet up with you today hope we can get together some time for a beer or 3 soon not because you look like you are partial to a drink but you look like a man who enjoys good company
Having just left wee Oscar’s daddy at a fundraiser in the town I can assure you he knows what all of you did today.
I thanked him because today two wee girls, who due to an old poison, got what Celtic and our supporters are all about.
Cheers Oscar…….
Ricky took some sore ones there

Listening to the chat at the bucket collection today was quality.
I think it was mm who said he was complaining about a cracked screen and he realised and put it all out there for people to get perspective, not that we all really needed much but that was a comment that kind of stopped us all in our tracks, it kind of dawned there at that moment. The track above should be cherished.
I think most words spoken and digested today would have been of real quality. It was a truly unique day. My Biblical man RRC can definitely testify to that after the whole spookiness of our departure. ;))

Alcohol got the better of me just now. A wee question, political tin hat on.
If Wee Oscar needs treatment & the government will not pay. (full stop, question mark etc)
How come, if a soldier gives birth to a baby in Afghanistan, they magically produce a plane, doctors, specialist unit etc £100k…only asking like?
