Rather than write our own report I have included the report sent in to the Recorder Group Newspapers by Celtic Boys.
"With only five goals conceded previously, Celtic survived a rare shock in this seesaw thriller with bottom-of-the-table visitors, who were twice in front. D&R deservedly led after only five minutes" (Pomper) "and after a further five minutes were two up." (O'Driscoll) "Celtic replied when Adrian Lim's superb pass sent Seyi Ogunleye through to net.
A superb Thomas Bishop save stopped D&R regaining a two-goal cushion before Ogunleye set up Lim to equalise. Two minutes later Ogunleye finished off a sparkling solo run to put Celtic in front. But D&R were doing most of the pressing and two quick goals" (Thorne 2) "had them in front again by half-time. Celtic levelled straight from the second half kick-off when Ogunleye completed a hat-trick. D&R would still have wrapped up the game in the closing stages but for Ben Lucy's sterling defending. Ten minutes from time Ogunleye released Lim through for a winner that was harsh on the visitors.
And this, against a team that had beaten us 10-0 in October. We are on the up.
