Review

Snow, mud and icy wind. A hooley of a day for a football match!
The weather encouraged plenty of running around to keep warm. Both goalkeepers produced wonder saves to keep the score goalless.haffey stopped the game to inform the referee that he was getting pelted with snowballs all the time. Dundee's 'finest' moved in to sort it out. Towards the end Dundee were gradually getting on top but it finished a goalless draw and Celtic their first non-win all season away from home.
