Image for Scenes! One picture sums up the joy of that last gasp winner

One pictured summed up the joy and relief of Celtic’s 1-0 win over Dundee at Dens Park.

For the third time in a month the hoops scored in the closing stages to secure full points with the winning strike getting later and later to see off Kilmarnock, Hearts and Dundee.

The clock showed 95 minutes had been played when Odsonne Edouard sent James Forrest towards the bye-line before steering the return pass into the net from eight yards out.

For 90 minutes the match looked like a frustrating re-run of last week’s stalemate against Aberdeen but Dundee’s spoiling tactics rebounded on them with the final whistle blown with more than 97 minutes on the clock.

Celtic had kicked off knowing that a win would open up the prospect of going 13 points clear at the top if they could repeat that result in the Glasgow derby.

Although it was an afternoon of frustration the return of Callum McGregor who got 90 minutes and Filip Benkovic in the closing stages was a welcome bonus ahead of the closing stages of the season.
