Towards the end of the first half Celtic started to make some chances of their own down the wings but the Pin Green ‘keeper held firm.
In the second half Celtic improved, prompted by the hard work of Matthew Foley in midfield, but the visitors remained dangerous and won a penalty in the 54th minute. This brought another fine save from the Celtic ‘keeper but the visitors scored their third in the 63rd minute having passed their way through the home defence.
Callum Goodall scored a well-taken consolation goal in added time but Celtic could have no complaints about the result.
Team: Judge; Lewis, Cooke, Goodall, Edwards, Mynott, Filby, Foley, Hargreaves, Harris, McGee. Subs: Jeewoth, Gotts, Kuenzi.
