Celtic 2 - 1 Dundee: Leigh Griffiths on target again

A largely uneventful first half was finished off in its dying minutes by a superb Leigh Griffiths free-kick, who was selected ahead of Moussa Dembele. Bitton added a second after the break from long range, his first of the season, putting the match beyond Paul Hartley’s side.

Marcus Haber pulled one back for Dundee with 15 minutes remaining.

Faissal El Bakhtaoui missed a late one-on-one and the opportunity to steal a point for his side.
