Review
Celtic stage a late fightback to claim a point. Slackness in defence is causing Stein some concern.
At 3-1 down Celtic raised their game mainly through the efforts of McGrain and Doyle to get back to 3-3 with 6 minutes left.
With three minutes to go Lynch was hauled down in the area but referee Eddie Thomson turned away the claims of the Celtic players.
