Celtic back on track with victory over Dundee

Reigning Scottish Premier League champions Celtic returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory at home to bottom of the table Dundee on Saturday. Beaten by St Johnstone in a shock upset last weekend, and held to a goalless draw by Benfica upon their return to the Champions League in midweek, Celtic moved to within a point of leaders Motherwell thanks to goals from Gary Hooper and Victor Wanyama. Hooper put Celtic ahead shortly before half-time and four minutes into the second half Wanyama’s long range shot doubled Celtic’s lead to the delight of the Parkhead faithful. A superb display by Dundee’s former Celtic keeper Robert Douglas kept the hosts, who spurned several chances, to two goals.
