00:00Ashley Haye, who was at Brentford, where Stephen Presley worked for so long in development.
00:06Started his career at Luton, but drifted into non-league football,
00:11where he became an apprentice plumber and worked for McDonald's before
00:15finding a way back into the professional game.
00:21Big hug, Stephen Presley, for his new captain this season.
00:27Dundee Bourne, playing for his club.
00:35Hooked on by Haye, hooked away by Tierney.
00:39It's one of those after meetings where you might need some more pages in that notebook.
01:00No way back yet for Celtic.
01:13Tierney.
01:33McGregor.
01:34A Celtic goal would surely change the whole feel of this game and of this place.
01:42Can they get it?
01:47McGregor.
01:49Forrest.
01:51Negrin.
01:54It's Tinney.
01:56It's Atate!
01:58And he grabs it wide.
01:59Yeah, well, it's good play again from Celtic when it comes to Atate.
02:08Not always going wide.
02:10And I feel like it's going to take something special to break Dundee down.
02:1311 goals, 10 assists last season for Aireo Atate.
02:20But he's one of a few this season who hasn't quite reached those high standards.
02:33Well, Celtic with a change of shape to try and get some control in the game.
02:37How's that for control?
02:38But they still haven't been able to trouble.
02:41John McCracken and goal.
02:42And that would be the big frustration.
02:46How often you see that?
02:4994%.
02:49They've had a lot of the ball, but it's all been in front of Dundee.
02:54A couple of speculative efforts.
02:56Atate with the latest one.
02:58But not really troubling.
02:59McCracken and goal.
03:06Ternicty.
03:08Just overrun that sideway.
03:10Well, Ethan Hamlin fancied a bit of it.
03:13Forrest.
03:14It's away from Nigra.
03:16It's gathered by McCracken.
03:17Come on in.
03:32Some respite now for Dundee, who have retained their 2-0 lead as we reach the hour mark.
03:53Yeah, I was expected a rally from Celtic.
03:59Hasn't really been there.
04:07There's more movement on the Celtic bench with Luke McCowan and Mikel Anz-Balakwisha seemingly being prepared.
04:14Luke McCowan back on familiar territory.
04:24Such a popular player for Dundee for a few years.
04:28Scored in this fixture last season after just five minutes.
04:31This is a long throw.
04:43Klopp Robertson with the flick on.
04:45And that's Lee Hay.
04:46Goes close to making it 3-0.
04:49Sure does.
04:50Castro's right.
04:51Scram one across the straight-hand side in this second header.
04:57Take forever to get the ball into play and you can understand why with Dundee.
05:02That's really close to finding the inside of the net there.
05:05Sebastian Czernetti and Benjamin Negrin will be the players coming off for McCowan and Balakwisha.
05:27Carter Vickers.
05:28He has to go back to Scales.
05:45He has to go back to Carter Vickers who had a bit of a race off.
05:48And Dundee standing firm.
06:01Ternetti about to be replaced.
06:04Giving Dre right the run around here though.
06:12Tierney onto it.
06:13It will be.
06:17A corner for Celtic, as they look for this elusive goal, Negrin also about to be replaced, will take it, Negrin sending it in, Iannaccio is dropped by McCracken.
06:47Gary with the initial header, makes himself big, difficult angle, Iannaccio.
07:00Corner from the other side, the same taker, Negrin right in there and it's met by Clark Robertson.
07:06And those changes can happen now, Benjamin Negrin will walk off around the side of the pitch, and Sebastian Tonecki leaves two.
07:22On comes Mikel Ange Falakwisha, who provided the assist for Dyson Midas' winner against Motherwell.
07:33Linda Cowan, Dundee's player of the year two seasons ago, and helped them win promotion to the Premiership.
07:50Scales.
07:52It's Iannaccio, and a brilliant block combined by Luke Craig and John McCracken.
08:00Yeah, I literally, Iannaccio's just going to smash it into the net, nice early cross from Tierney, and the touch just goes a little bit ahead of him.
08:11Combination, three up from McCracken, and then off to stop it.
08:17Scales prevents a corner there, but that was all rather messy.
08:21No, there's a chance, it goes down, there's a chance, he just takes a heavy touch.
08:34It's great defending, you have to say, in the end.
08:37Ryan Astley ready to go long again, and Clark Robertson with the captain's armband, now that Simon Murray has gone off.
08:46One of the targets, Carter Vickers, away.
08:51There's been a foul, and a free kick.
08:57Celtic have 25 minutes left.
08:59Whatever happens in this point, it's certainly been another, in a long line, of unconvincing performances.
09:12Look how I'm going to run on to this, and another corner is Celtic stepping up.
09:33They're going to have to show a lot more than I have up until now.
09:36Luke McCowan making the signals.
09:45It's going to come to Callum McGregor.
09:48But it's blocked by Luke Graham.
09:52It's going to take a while to set his body up.
10:01McGregor again.
10:05Scales.
10:06Barakwisha, turning.
10:13Barakwisha's cross, comes off Robertson.
10:17It's all rather relentless now from the champions.
10:19Yeah, it's sustained pressure in and around the D-box, crosses into the box, forced a minute to defend it.
10:26McCowan whips an excellent cross in, and Iheanacho having to react.
10:33Carter Vickers was the man that it came off.
10:37Yeah, he's just going to end gambling there, Carter Vickers.
10:40I don't know how much he knows about it, not too much.
10:43Luke Graham just ahead of him.
10:44Maybe there's enough to put him off.
10:46He's trying to react, but it's too quick.
10:54Keep it going is the message, and they are doing just that, but no way back for now.
11:02What a difference one goal might make for them to swing the pendulum, but Stephen Presley's Dundee holding on with a cushion of two goals.
11:18Yeah, they are ramping up the pressure, so there's no doubt, but still yet to really test John McCracken in goal.
11:27Putting crosses into the box, Dundee defending those situations very well.
11:31All right, let's see.
11:53Celtic have had just two efforts on target which kind of sums up the way things are going as indeed does that.
12:06Yeah I mean it's not been good enough, far from it, one of those shots is the one that Ian actually takes a heavy touch and Liam gets a block in,
12:17the other ones at the far post where it's a tight angle anyway McCracken gets across makes himself big and makes a save but they certainly haven't really put Dundee under loads of pressure.
12:32Lindley Robertson is about to join us and he will replace Joe Wesley with him.
12:46Might look painful.
12:49Rayo Hattate.
12:58Yeah, it would have been.
13:01I'm across the face.
13:07Forrest.
13:11Cartificus.
13:16Go on by Kenny, now McCowan.
13:26Digby comes to that first but it's a corner.
13:32Again, you know, ball wide throws it into the box then he wants to get it clear.
13:48McCowan with a corner in, away by Hay, Hattate, Tanotti, it's a handball.
13:54And Celtic are offered a route back into the game.
13:57Well, initially I felt that Digby's arms were high and outstretched.
14:09That's a crazy decision, you have to say, the ball is potentially going over that stand.
14:16To go up with your hands as high as what they are.
14:22He's saying it hits his face which, it does actually.
14:27It does actually.
14:28It does actually.
14:29But if you put your arms up there, then you're running the rest.
14:35I think he's going to get away with this.
14:37Well, we await the verdict from VAR for Gavin Duncan.
14:47I mean, I don't know why his arms are up so high, but it comes clearly off his face.
14:52It is a sore one for him.
14:54Well, it'll be a smack in the face for Celtic if they aren't offered a route back into this game.
15:02But there's a lengthy VAR check going on and we're waiting to hear from Gavin Duncan
15:08to give Matthew McDermott some instruction here.
15:12But, I mean, it looked in real time nailed on, didn't it?
15:16Yeah, even the first replay, because of how high his arms are,
15:21I mean, it's a crazy way to go and defend the situation.
15:24If anything, it's lucky it hits his face.
15:26But it definitely comes off his face.
15:28I expect this to be overturned.
15:33It's all quiet down at VAI HQ at the moment.
15:37We can hear Gavin Duncan, well, we can't hear him yet, but we will do soon.
15:45The fact that it's taking so long could be a clue.
15:51You know, you can understand why Matthew McDermott gives it, because of the position of the hands.
16:00And the check goes on.
16:09There is going to be an on the field review.
16:13Matthew McDermott will go across now and make his own call on this.
16:19Well, we know what the call is going to be.
16:21Well, it looks like Dundee's 2-0 lead will remain intact after all.
16:33But Paul Digby has certainly got away with one there.
16:41Yeah, he has.
16:42He'll take it all day long.
16:44But when you put your arms up there, you are running the risk that comes off his face.
16:50There we go.
16:56I think we know what's coming next.
16:59There's no penalty.
17:00It's off the face.
17:01You can understand why he gives it.
17:02Because in noon time, it looks like it comes off the arms.
17:03Both of them close his arms, hands are above his head.
17:04But it clearly strikes him in the face.
17:05I think his eyes might still be blurry as well.
17:06Paul Digby might never do that again after getting away with it on that occasion.
17:15Dundee, we're going to make that change before that lengthy VAR check.
17:16Finlay Robertson is coming on for Dundee.
17:18It's coming on for Dundee.
17:19The one that comes off the arms.
17:20The one that comes off the arms.
17:21The one that comes off the arms.
17:22Both of them close his arms, hands are above his head.
17:23But it clearly strikes him in the face.
17:24I think his eyes might still be blurry as well.
17:25Paul Digby might never do that again after getting away with it on that occasion.
17:34Dundee, we're going to make that change right before that lengthy VAR check.
17:41Finlay Robertson is coming on for Dundee.
17:42He made his presence felt for the second goal that eventually went in off Cameron Carter-Vickers.
17:55Robertson is a Dundee fan, Dundee-born, been at the club at the age of 11.
18:01He was actually sent off at Celtic Park a couple of seasons ago in a 7-1 defeat,
18:07although there were 7-0 down at the time.
18:10Naturally improved when it went off.
18:12I do wonder why it took 2 minutes, 20 seconds for Matthew McDermott to be sent to the monitor when it was always going to happen shortly.
18:22Yeah, I know, I mean, as I said, first viewing in real time I thought it was a penalty. The first replay, I felt the same until you can see it clearly strike his face, so yeah, I don't know why it took so long to be honest.
18:38But I suppose the most important thing is to get the correct decision in the end.
18:56The final quarter of an hour of the 90 anyway, might be a chunky amount of stoppage time.
19:03The final quarter of an hour of the 90.
19:04There's a four-minute delay whilst we sort of have that non penalty.
19:16When we finish here, it's over to the Premier League for Tottenham against Aston Villa.
19:20Time of Super Sunday, and then later it's Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield.
19:26And there's Monday Night Football as West Ham hosts Brentford.
19:31Come on, Grieve.
19:46Bars by Park Lishap.
19:50Barsed by Park Lishap.
19:54In the back of the 19th,
19:57It's a staff out of the other way.
20:16Cameron Congreve is
20:18joint top of the assist charts
20:21in the Premiership this season
20:23after setting up Clark Robertson's
20:25opener. Joint top with Alex
20:27Kisaridis of Hearts.
20:32And he couldn't score a third could they?
20:37Here it comes.
20:39Robertson!
20:40Almost!
20:44Front end defending from Celtic.
20:48Samuels returns
20:49ain't great.
20:50And that's why he's such a daff out
20:52they give away from Balakusha.
20:54Such a threat Clark Robertson
20:56so dominant in there.
21:00That's really where we got up
21:01trying to head that back across.
21:02Hay just goes in too early.
21:05I wonder if he could have went for a goal there.
21:07Clark Robertson.
21:08Hattate.
21:18Hattate.
21:22Scales.
21:25Balakusha.
21:27Tierney.
21:28McCowan.
21:29Hattate!
21:30Oh wow.
21:31Off the back side there
21:33of Luke Grimm.
21:37Well I think it looks like it's going to be done these days.
21:47Oh there's going to be a delay here
21:50for a potential handball.
21:52Again.
21:57Nope.
21:58That's gone away.
22:00It was more the back side than the hands.
22:04Surely it can't be the shot
22:05they're checking there.
22:07I think it might have been.
22:09That was a quick check anyway.
22:10McCowan hoisted in.
22:12It's away by Graham
22:13using a
22:14more orthodox
22:16part of his body
22:17this time.
22:18McCowan
22:19what's going out.
22:30He's toiling
22:31but he's off the field.
22:33Oh my God.
22:43I wonder if Digby just
22:46catches him there.
22:49It's accidental
22:49but this is the block
22:51from Graham.
22:52Great play.
22:52Down the left hand side
22:53McCowan.
22:54Nah that was a check there.
22:57Ball comes off.
22:59Hamilton's hand
23:00from McCowan
23:01but it's down by his side
23:02but this is the block here.
23:05He's going to say he meant it
23:06look Graham.
23:07It's a good strike from Hattate
23:08but
23:09when you look in
23:10it's in.
23:13He'll be enjoying this
23:24Derek McKinnis' assistant
23:26Paul Sheeran
23:27and a bit of history
23:30with Celtic as well
23:31scored a penalty
23:32when Super Cali
23:33went ballistic
23:33at Celtic Park
23:34and took them to a
23:36cut replay
23:37when he was manager
23:38of our broke as well.
23:40There's a yellow card
23:41coming out here

24:02Celtic needs
24:03something to happen
24:04soon
24:05on angles waiting to come on for celtic for real hatate
24:15mccowan tries again but once again it's cleared by luke graham
24:22tierney scales celtic lacking a finishing touch
24:36and they need a couple of such touches congreve onto this
24:43congreve has really had an excellent game he's gonna
24:50miss out with another assist there but he's caught the eye yeah he certainly
24:55has
25:01but our day makes way and honor angles comes on angles who scored four goals
25:09against undee last season three of them penalties including in stoppage time here
25:13in that 3-3 game in january
25:20something would take another equalizer right now but they have to get their first goal
25:27back initially
25:32kenny
25:34in that show goes for the cover
25:37and it's
25:39collected by the crockets
25:42i wonder if it just took a little net
25:46for that far post here nacho
25:54don't they have a man down
26:00three right
26:02there's an issue
26:04he's put in some shift as well
26:16three right
26:16well my celtic manager gordon strachan now working for dundee and key in the appointment of stephen presley
26:29could play for him
26:33well this would be a statement victory in what's been a difficult start for stephen presley
26:45absolutely i think he's shown you know his team have shown you can be organized structure
26:49most also offering
26:52plenty and attack
26:54not many people would have given them much of a chance of getting anything out of this game today
26:58well it's still time
27:00still a lot for them to see out but
27:03it's been a very impressive display from dundee
27:06so you're right
27:11they won't be ready to resume
27:15because michael was trying to get on with the game there
27:18whilst the dundee players are having a drink
27:20might be one way to find a way to go
27:26tierney
27:30scales
27:32yeah i think dre right is fine
27:53yeah it looks okay now
27:55you know he said a good afternoon
28:01dre right tested with tenekte
28:02and balacuisha coming on
28:04no change out of him either
28:06and dre right was in the st johnston team that beat celtic back in april
28:12and could be about to record a famous victory over them in a dundee shirt now
28:18this particular point
28:35will celtic go again in their quest for a lifeline
28:40he is going to be replaced
28:45very right

28:48scales
28:51mcgregor
28:56balacuisha
29:00looking for mcgregor but ashley stopped it
29:05and that change
29:11will happen now
29:13very right game is over
29:20in for ingram
29:26started the opening game of the season in the premiership against hymns but this is his first league appearance since
29:34Forrest
29:43McCowan
29:48Engels
29:50Johnny Kenny
29:51Paul Digby moved in on him
29:53Likewise
29:54Digby on McGregor too
29:57Orsley Hay played a part in that as well
29:59And he has it now
30:00Liam Scales has taken him out
30:05And that's going to be
30:06A yellow card for Scales
30:08I don't know what Liam Scales is thinking there
30:22I know he's got the runner on him
30:24He must know that he's going to want to run that
30:29Into the corner
30:29Dundee won't be any rush
30:34In any rush here
30:36And you can't blame them
30:37Congreve again
30:42All known from Swansea
30:45Which has
30:48A long time
30:50Been a good place to
30:51Learn your trade
30:53Floated in by Congreve
30:55Johnny Kenny helping out
30:57Robertson sends it back to Sonia's
31:02Hamilton's flick didn't work out that time
31:06They've caught McCowan too
31:09But Celtic habits are on they go
31:11And they need to go on
31:14Fast running at a time
31:16At Dens Park
31:17Scored a couple of stoppage time
31:25Winners this season
31:27But they have two goals to claw back
31:30Scales
31:36Engels
31:38Engels
31:38Tierney
31:40Cowan unable to take it
31:45Scales
31:46Celtic fans will be feeling
31:49Immensely frustrated by this
31:51Inability to score and inability to really have too many attempts on target
31:57Imari Samuels now for Finn Robertson
32:00Ashley Hay waiting for the cross
32:03He's looking for the pass from Samuels but
32:12He's got to recognise that
32:15This ball's getting flashed across here
32:17He's just jogging into the box
32:18Gamble
32:19Goes too late
32:20Samuels has an issue here
32:25Bumpy players have put a shift in today
32:28And starting to feel it as it stands
32:30If there's a length of today here
32:33It might be more
32:34But as it stands
32:35There will be five minutes added on
32:37And a yellow card for Kasper Schmeichel
32:40Both goalkeepers booked
32:48Yeah for different reasons
32:51Final minute of the 90
32:57At least five more
32:59Forrest
33:02If it's going to happen for Celtic
33:05The first goal needs to happen soon
33:08Ashley
33:16They're acting to
33:17Send it into the stand
33:19We've now gone to six minutes
33:23Of additional time
33:26There's no time to add more time
33:29Scales cross Celtic might need more
33:32Celtic in a desperate situation here
33:42Kieran Tierney trying to do something about it
33:46Ian Acho
33:48James Forrest came in
33:51But Dundee defending
33:52Doing whatever it takes
33:55To preserve their two-man lead
33:57And now Ethan Hamilton
33:59And he's taking on
34:03Carter Vickers
34:03Gainly here
34:04And it's a free kick
34:05For Dundee
34:07And Ethan Hamilton
34:08Celebrates winning it
34:10Well I mean he's serving that
34:12Because of all
34:13But that is great play
34:15For Ethan Hamilton
34:16Because there's no way to go
34:17He thought about knocking up the line
34:18And taking Carter Vickers
34:19That race
34:20Changed his mind
34:22Cuts inside
34:23And gets a foul
34:25And the action
34:26Says it all
34:28For Ethan Hamilton
34:28Dundee
34:32Agonizingly close
34:34To a first home win
34:35Over Celtic
34:36Since the 24th of September
34:391988
34:40It was 1-0
34:42Then
34:43It was Tommy Coyne
34:44It's 2-0 now
34:46The board did say
34:535 minutes
34:54But
34:54We can hear
34:55VAR
34:56And they said
34:57It would be 6 minutes
34:58Added on
34:59Palakwisha
35:01Needs to get a shot away
35:03And the Kraken is equal to it
35:05Yeah
35:08They wait a while
35:09To be called into action
35:10It's on the Kraken
35:11Great feat
35:12From Palakwisha
35:13Now it's corner
35:26Once again
35:27Defended
35:28By Graham
35:29Dundee remain on course
35:34For a long-awaited
35:36And famous victory
35:43Ingles
35:47All these last wins
35:57Against either old firm team here
35:58Against Rangers in 2017
36:01Ian Akshay
36:02Trashes that header wide
36:04It's a chance
36:06Great cross
36:07Early cross from Tierney
36:09Ian Akshay's alert here
36:10Just kind of trouble
36:14McCackering goal
36:15It's just not happening
36:18To Kelechi
36:19Ian Akshay
36:19For Brendan Rodgers
36:21For Celtic
36:22Yeah
36:22Absolutely spot on
36:24Not good in their day
36:26But
36:26They have to get
36:27Huge amount of credit
36:28To Dundee
36:29Performance levels
36:31For every single player
36:32So high
36:3313-7 years
36:47In the waiting
36:48And this is the 37th meeting
36:50At Dens Park
36:51Since
36:52A Dundee win in 1988
36:55That's a cricket for Dundee
36:59In there
36:59Halfway through
37:01Stoppage time
37:01And seeing it through
37:02Nicely
37:04Don't you just love it
37:12When a plan comes together
37:13And it certainly has
37:14For Stephen Presley
37:15Today
37:16After the doom and gloom
37:19Of that heavy defeat
37:20At Aberdeen
37:21Dundee have produced
37:23A superb performance here
37:27Yeah
37:29They took responsibility
37:30For that
37:31Performance
37:32And was out
37:33Against Aberdeen
37:33He fronted up
37:35Stephen Presley
37:36He's got a clear
37:37Game plan today
37:38And it's worked to a tee
37:40This is what's my call
37:47Was worried for a moment
37:48Scales
38:02Paraguysia
38:07We'll get the free kick
38:10But
38:10Those seconds are ticking away
38:13Celtic pounds have departed
38:26Already
38:27Had enough of this game
38:30And many would have had enough
38:31Of this season so far
38:32Looked at him by angles
38:35Much like
38:37There will be a clean seat
38:40For Dundee to go with
38:41This priceless victory
38:43As Johnny Kenny
38:44Head to why
38:45They've defended
38:48When they've had it
38:49Dundee
38:50Which has been
38:50For the majority
38:51Of their second half
38:52Yeah
38:52So majority of the game
38:53But they've defended
38:54Really well
38:54Such has been great
38:55Anytime the balls
38:56Come into the box
38:57They've done enough
38:59To put the pressure on
39:00Or get the block in
39:01They might be going
39:03With five minutes
39:04Added on here
39:04Because Matthew McCord
39:06Blows up
39:07Outstanding
39:10From Stephen Presley
39:11And Dundee
39:13But hands up
39:14Who saw this coming
39:15His game plan
39:17Worked to perfection
39:2037 years
39:23In the waiting
39:24Dundee
39:25Have beaten Celtic
39:26At home
39:26For the first time
39:28Since 1988
39:29But Tommy Coyne
39:31Back then
39:32Reid Clark Robertson
39:34With an outstanding header
39:36To get things going
39:37And then another
39:39And goal
39:39At Dens Park
39:40For the second season
39:41Running
39:42For Cameron Carter
39:43Because
39:44Well if anything
39:46Should kickstart
39:47Their season
39:47This should
39:48The last time
39:49Dundee
39:50Beat Celtic
39:52At home
39:52Margaret Thatcher
39:53Was prime minister
39:54And there's been
39:56Nine prime ministers
39:57Since
39:57But Celtic
39:59This season
40:00Already
40:00Poor
40:01Already
40:02Dismal
40:03Has taken a serious
40:04Turn for the worst
40:06Yeah absolutely
40:07Five minutes
40:08Six minutes
40:09Ten minutes
40:10Half an hour
40:10Another 90 minutes
40:12Celtic did not look like
40:13They were going to find
40:13The back of the net
40:14Dundee
40:15Come out with a set
40:16Game plan
40:17Executed to
40:18An absolute T
40:19From start to finish
40:20Really strong
40:21First half performance
40:23Second half's
40:24About digging in
40:24And frustrating Celtic
40:26They've done that
40:26Magnificently
40:27Deserved winners
40:28For Dundee today
40:30Huge credit
40:31To the players
40:32To Stephen Presley
40:33Well earned
40:34Well deserved victory
40:36The Celtic
40:37With so many questions
40:38In that performance
40:39Like a colossal performance
40:41From Dundee
40:42To a man
40:44They all
40:45Delivered
40:46Plenty to ponder
40:47And reflect
40:48For Celtic
40:49Who
40:52Just
40:53Cannot
40:54Get things going
40:56Like they used to
40:57And a week today
40:59Derek McKinnis
41:00And Hearts
41:01Could go
41:02Eight points
41:03Clear
41:03At the top
41:04Of Brendan Rogers
41:05And Celtic
41:06And Celtic
41:06Today though
41:08It's all about
41:09The boys in blue
41:10At Dems Park
41:12Where it ends
41:14Dundee 2
41:15Celtic
