Review
Kenny Dalglish is single handedly keeping Celtic ahead in the title race.
Roddy MacDonald is played as a striker with Deans, Lennox and Glavin all out injured. He does well in this unusual role.
Dalglish adds to his catalogue of great goals when he beats two men and places the ball calmly past Allan. McGrain set up the goal with a great run through the centre of the Dundee defence.
