First impression was that it was a fantastic piece of skill from Mikael Lustig and a neat finish from Moussa Dembele via a great touch from Callum McGregor.
Looking deeper into it the folk at Read Celtic rewound and rewound Celtic’s fifth goal today to reveal 24 passes involving every player in the team!
Was it better than that goal at Love Street in 86?

It’s worth debate anyway with both goals having plenty of merit although the actual goal scorer today is highly unlikely to be despised and airbrushed out of history.
Words don’t really do the goal justice, all you can do is marvel and enjoy it as the ball goes from left to right, from penalty box to penalty box then ends up with the right-back doing step overs and back heels in the left side of the penalty box!
Dembele’s finishing seemed more relaxed and composed today, he took his time placing both goals from open play- perhaps he might be able to push towards the 40 mark with 23 already to his name.
