Celtic 3, Dundee 1 (full-time)

Celtic were forced to halt their game against Dundee at Parkhead for 15 minutes following a floodlight failure.

The Hoops had come from behind to lead 2-1, after goals from Chris Sutton and Henrik Larsson had cancelled out Fan Zhiyi's first-half opener.

Then, in the 60th minute the lights began to dim around the ground, leaving the pitch in semi-darkness.

Police advised the players to leave the field for safety reasons, and the game was restarted 15 minutes later.

John Hartson added to the Bhoys' tally on 65 minutes.
