Review
Celtic blew a two goal lead on a bitterly cold day at Parkhead.
At 3-1 Celtic looked home and dry with Deans and Dalglish in fine form and Dundee having defenders Stewart and Caldwell withdrawn through injury and replaced. However the defence still looked suspect and Dundee scored twice to grab an impressive point in their struggle against relegation.
The disappointment around Celtic Park is palpable. The Ne'erday loss to Rangers followed by this 'collapse' when in a winning position meant that there was something underlying the performances fundamentally wrong.
Sean Fallon lambasted his defence and rumours abound that Celtic are after a new centre half with Ian MacDonald of St Johnstone and Alan Hansen of Partick Thistle both being mentioned in the press.
