00:00What a match we just witnessed here at Denz Park. It's finished. Dundee 3, Celtic 3. A

00:07real classic humdinger of a game at Denz Park. Between two teams who showed at times really

00:14good forward play, at other times poor defensive play. A really cruel ending for the hosts

00:20who thought they'd ended a long, long wait for a win against Celtic at this stadium.

00:26They've not actually beaten Celtic here since September 1988. A remarkable start, going

00:31back some 13,260 days. Going into stoppage time they led 3-2 and all thoughts turned

00:38to that long hoodoo being broken. But Celtic, as they do, as champions do, scored very late

00:44on a 90 second minute penalty by Arne Engels after a handball by Mo Salah. No real complaints,

00:49it looked like a pretty stonewall penalty from up in the press box. That was a cruel

00:53end for Dundee who put so much into this match. They played really well, came back from behind

00:57not once but twice and to be honest I thought probably deserved the victory more than Celtic.

01:03Celtic were uncharacteristically sloppy at the back. Cameron Carter-Vickers had a poor

01:07match by his standards. Auston Trusty wasn't much better next to him. They just looked

01:11a little bit off it and I'm sure Brendan Rogers will probably admit as much in his post-match

01:16press conference. Nevertheless, they're still 16 points clear at the top of the league.

01:19That's what champions do, as I said. Luke McKown on his first return here since moving

01:23to Celtic in the summer. Scored the opener, lovely header on five minutes from a Greg Taylor-Cross.

01:28Taylor playing his 200th game for Celtic. Dundee levelled just before half-time.

01:33Sun Adewumi in form off straight and forward. Scored a really nice goal on the counter-attack.

01:37Celtic should have been well clear by that point. Adelida and Pallobardo both missed

01:41good chances. Celtic though responded in the second half. They got a goal through

01:47on 53 minutes. Dundee levelled a minute later with an own goal from Cameron Carter-Vickers

01:53after he diverted a cross from Josh Mulligan to his own net. And then Dundee looked like

01:59they'd got the winner on 79 minutes. It was Aaron Donnelly-Rose to head home a thin Robertson

02:03corner. But as Celtic do, they got the penalty. Engle sorted it in and it finished here at

02:08Den's Park in a game that you never really wanted to end. Dundee 3, Celtic 3.
