Leigh Griffiths was among the scorers as Celtic beat Dundee 4-2 in the Reserve Cup at Dens Park with the striker playing for one hour

Liam Burt and Armstrong Oko Flex scored for Celtic in the 65th and 78th minutes to give the visitors a winning start to their section which also includes Morton and Dunfermline.
