IT took a strike from comeback Bhoy Dedryck Boyata to break the Hamilton Accies barrier at Parkhead yesterday.
Celtic hammered away at Gary Woods’ goal for 63 minutes without success until the Belgian defender, playing his first game for the Hoops since the Scottish Cup Final win over Motherwell in May, popped up to net the points-clincher.
Boyata scored three times in 39 appearances last season, so one in one is a vast improvement.
