Celtic 5 Dundee 0, Parkhead, Premier League, 24th February 2013

Dundee opened brightly at Parkhead on Sunday and were unlucky not to open the scoring when a Gary Harkins free kick ended up in the net but John Baird was ruled offside. But the home side took the lead on 13 minutes when Ledley scored after Rab Douglas only pushed the ball out to the Celtic player who tapped the ball home.

After this Dundee pushed forward and had a few great chances with Gallagher heading wide and Harkins hitting the bar, at the other end Douglas had a good save from a Hooper pile driver. Then Gary Harkins forced the Celtic keeper to tip one over the ball with a bit of luck it goes in.

Matt Lockwood gets send off

Second half and Matt Lockwood replaces Brian Easton and sadly he lasts only 3 minutes on the park when he is adjusted to foul Hooper in the six yard box and as last man he has to go. Celtic make it 2-0 from the resulted penalty scored by Forrest. Soon after and Douglas saves twice as Celtic take control of the game. In a rare Dundee attack Nicky Riley does well to get a cross in but it is missed by the Dundee forwards.

Soon after and  McGeouch heads home to make it 3-0, Gary Harkins comes off for McBride and soon after Ledley scores his second and Celtic's fourth goal. Near the end and Hooper completes the scoring when he takes the ball well on his chest to shoot home after a great ball from Ledley.

Then David Morgan came on for his debut replacing winger Nicky Riley and the game ended with Rab Douglas saving several times to stop the home side from adding to score line.

Ray Farningham was in the Dugout and must have been happy enough with the players efforts, and likely the sending off cost them the game.
