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.

Proud to be a Tim – Wee Oscar Bucketeers http://www.thecelticnetwork.com/2012/09/22/proud-to-be-a-tim-wee-oscar-bucketeers/ … PLEASE RT. this IS WHAT OUR CLUB IS ALL ABOUT #wee Oscar
Off to bed bhoys. God bless wee Oscar & Izzie. And well well done to the bhoys who organised today. Absolutley brill!!!
Jude – think it was MWD eyeliner could have been BB as well to be fair!
TTTT – agree the NHS does what it can when it can and when it can’t Thank the Lord (or whoever or no-one delete as appropriate) for Celtic Fans who pull together in the time of need
Looking ahead to the CL games coming up.
I now expect Celtic to get at least 1 point in Moscow. I’m also hoping Barca beat Benfica in Lisbon.
The following game would be Spartak v Benfica and a draw would be very handy and the expected result in this clash, given the defensive nature of Benfica at Celtic Park.
If we could battle our way to a point it would be marvellous but perhaps not good in the long run. I’ll settle for a spirited defeat as long as Barca have nothing to play for by the 4th game at Celtic Park.
Good Night all
During the collection today this man crossed me mind a few times as I watched the celtic family in full flow.
MAY ONLY GOOD THINGS COME YOUR WAY.

I will be honest TB never even crossed my mind today. I am glad you posted the link.
Sometimes it is easy to forget the real drivers in progressing Celtic.
Thank You very much for the reminder of one of Celtic’s Greatest ever.
Another complaint about the bucket collection, my big fat face is as red as a berry my skin is not up to all this abuse. Sunshine in Glasgow at the Sept. Weekend the Belfast team must have bribed God for the weather today, I knew God was a Tim.

Just been at a splendid evening of great music on the Island of Bute- kicked off by our very own Ulysess McGee and continued to a great finish by the excellent Eleanor McEvoy- credit to all involved- the talents of CQN are everywhere.

Ricky looked strong. Mitchell was well out his depth. Shame the fight wasn’t picked up by sky so the country could see how good this bhoy really is.

Just in! Wow today was a bit special. So many good people helping. The Green Bucket Army will live with me forever. Wee Oscar’s Dad and cousins out today in force. The Celtic family bringing piggy banks, carrier bags and pockets of cash, Immense.
The helpers, volunteers, photographer, team leaders, co-ordinators, the WAGs…………..so humbled
Thank you

A good win today against a team likely to be relegated.

Amazingly woke at 2 am ,immediately after the game and worked my way through the live comments.Will probably take up the new Season ticket offer which includes Ch 67.
Saw the S.P.L. highlights.Beautiful goals.Glad Broonie redeemed himself after the penalty save.
The work is progressing.

Neil Lennon takes no excrement from noone.
Neil Lennon Loves Glasgow Celtic.
The Boss knows a player, especially a defensive minded player. ;)
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Neil must be one of the Youngest ever Celtic Managers but he is eager to learn against the worst ever backdrop.
NEIL LENNON knows more than anyone else, that the only way Celtic will Win the CL is to get as many coming through the ranks as possible.
Every other avenue is blocked because of Greed.
We must Use the Love of the Club more than ever before and put our Full faith in it.

Maximum respect to the Partners of the Players who turned out to support Oscar. It is a unique Club.
Team
I have not posted on CQN for a while, had spent alot of time most nights posting tweets on twitter , trying to get the message out for wee Oscar
So apologies If I am out of touch with the chat and team on here
Despite that it was just fantastic in the short time we had on janefield street today, to meet so many good people that I have got to know through CQN in past few years
Today was a HUGE day in the history of the Celtic Family
Days like today is what makes our club / family
You can forget about all your glitzy champions leagues, world cups, EPLs, SPLs, SKY TVS , fancy computers, fancy phones or even the Celtic team bus with darkened out windows
Today was real, it was real people from all ages, from all walks of life, with a common goal to help someone/wee family that are faced with a big journey in their life’s
Today was a Huge Day in the history of our extended family
Today I witnessed kids as young as two years old participating with their parents, through to young adults, through to older members of the Celtic family supporting
Each and everyone of them full of joy and enthusiasm, supporting and talking to fellow fans in their own way and style, which was just incredible and sums up people
Sitting in the car outside the ground today 45 minutes after the game it was just great listening to my 69 year old dad and my wife talking about the generosity and kindness of the extended family as shown to them and fellow buckateers
A special note also to the Management of Dundee Fc who allowed one of the bucket army (mrs che) to join their coach at bottom of Kerrydale street
very happy to be a member of this family
Hail hail

Broonie was Amazing once again. The work off the ball is unreal, no slacking in the slightest despite the man covering more ground than Xavi/Iniesta midweek (please statos check this out).
When Broonie plays the ball he is moving into positions all the time, I noticed static players today, not my style to name them but lets just say BROOOOONIIIIIEEEEEE is the Main Man and is helping to develop Victor so he can become twice the player of Broonie as long as he has the REAL desire to be the best he can be, I think he has it.
Captain Broonie is Monumental in my eyes now and is ahead of Wanyama as being the most important player on the pitch. I am chuffed to bits about this fact.
Saint Stivs – is that yer annual bath in the Port?!

See,like ‘petec’ was saying , wtf are we doing in this ConDemNation when we can spend BILLIONS foghting for the oil transnationals , destabilising countries to suit some anachronistic sense of ‘Empire’, and yet cost-cutting exercises deny sick children the treatment they need. When a remedy or a cure exists it is downright immoral to put a price on it. It should be held in the public good, pro bono.
I want every child to be given the life saving treatment they require.
Thank god we can do our bit to try and save one. Today I am immensely proud of this great Celtic Community and all its efforts for good in these harsh times.
And I am grateful to all those who have nothing to do with Celtic, but who nonetheless care to put their hands in their pockets for a wee bhoy.
HH to all.

“THERE IS ONLY ONE TEAM IN GLASGOW” aka “@67MOULDY67″ – That’s Celtic for you.
A football club born out of hope, kindness, and love.
So many lives around the world have been improved because there are young men in green and white hoops who kick a ball around a small patch of east Glasgow, and more importantly because of the people from all walks of life and all across the globe who faithfully follow them.
The world is a better place for having Celtic in it. (thumbsup)
Saint Stivs – For Real !
Night night.

petec,
cheers for the link,i just wisnae sure if CRC was putting
the total raised through as a single donation or if each

Did you get to see the game today?
Vipbox, is free…. ;)) I won’t say a thing.
I had the amazing privilege to sit beside the BSR and I had the audacity to ask him where his moniker was from.
And just to really mess things up further, I watched Eyes Wide Shut for the first time (honest I’m not in a secret society) last night (long movie).
Now amalgamate a youtube out of that Philvis you God fearing Tory you.
