Celtic 2 Dundee 1, Parkhead, SPFL Premiership, 22-November-14

Dundee lost 2-1 at Parkhead  on Saturday going by reports from the papers and what l have seen in highlights the team played well and had two great chances when on another day both Stewart and Konrad would have scored. Also Clarkson was unlucky when his chip was headed of the line. Celtic scored right on half-time when Stokes headed home, typical in games like this.


Second half and Guidetti scored from 12 yards after a quick break away, Dundee still kept their heads up and McPake was unlucky for his header ruled out for off side, but soon after David Clarkson scored after good link up play from Stewart and Irvine. Dundee kept at it and both Stewart and Harkins went close with good efforts at goal. Celtic hit the post late on and Dundee denied a penalty for handball was not given. But the game ended 2-1 to the home side, but Paul Hartley can take a lot of positives from the way Dundee played football.

Dundee: Bain, McGinn, McPake, Konrad, Irvine, Thomson (Ferry 72), McGowan, McAlister, Harkins (Tankulic 80), Stewart (Boyle 68), Clarkson. Subs Not Used: Schenk, Dyer, McBride and Roberts.

Referee: K Clancy
