Review
Low on confidence Celts get a much needed win and Danny McGrain makes a much needed return to the first eleven.He had a hand in two of the goals and played well.
McGrain's pass to McAdam five minutes after the start set the forward up to score. Doyle was pulled down by Ford and Andy Lynch scored from the spot. And a free kick from Doyle after McGrain had been fouled saw Edvaldsson head home.
