Celtic ease past Dundee

Celtic have beaten Dundee 2-0 courtesy of goals in each half from Giorgios Samaras and Gary Hooper.

Celtic resorted to shots from distance in the opening stages with Hooper flashing one well over the bar.

In the 16th minute, however, it was 1-0 to the visitors when Hooper set up Samaras to smash into the net from close range.

It took a top save from Rab Douglas right before the break to stop Celtic going 2-0 up as he dived to keep out an Efe Ambrose effort.

With 20 minutes to go Celtic finally had their two-goal cushion, with Hooper firing low from just inside the box.

From then on Celtic were able to keep possession and see out the win.
