Review
Celtic went behind in the 13th minute when Wilson scored.
Harry Hood is now in his best ever form and there are calls for Scotland manager Bobby Brown to cap him.
He scored twice, the pick of the bunch his last goal when he cut in from the left and hammered home a shot from 25 yards. Only a player of the highest calibre could have scored a goal like this.
