Review

Paul McStay gave one of his best Celtic performances at Dens Park.

Despite going 1-0 down Celtic did not buckle and continued to dominate with McStay the most influential player on the field.

In 47 minutes McStay saw his penalty saved but he redeemed himself in 58 minutes by scoring a spectacular header from a Johnston cross.

Celtic continued to dominate and McClair scored another fine goal near the end.

Veteran keeper Peter Latchford impressed for Celts.
