Quick Review

Celtic started sluggishly but showed signs they were coming to life in the 13th minute with a flowing passing move which culminated with Chris Sutton directing Alan Thompson's cross-field ball towards Larsson, but the Swede fired over. However, the free-scoring striker found the back of the net two minutes later when Thompson picked him out in the penalty area with the help of Sutton dummy and Larsson curled the ball around Dundee keeper Julian Speroni.
Douglas was recalled for Celtic at the expense of Magnus Hedman but the Scotland goalkeeper could do nothing to stop Fotheringham's fantastic equalising goal. With 20 minutes gone the youngster, who left Celtic Park in the summer, ran unchallenged from the centre circle and unleashed a 30 yard shot into the top corner of the net.
Celtic regained the lead in the 68th minute when Sutton made a far post run to meet Thompson's cross and managed to knock the ball across goal for Balde to head home from close range.
With five minutes remaining, substitute Kennedy bundled in a third goal as Dundee struggled to deal with a corner kick and the points were safe for Celtic.
But Dundee still had time to grab a goal when defender Mair surged into the Celtic area and picked his spot from six yards.
