Quick Review

Alan Thompson scored one and set up three others as Celtic came from behind to defeat Dunfermline at East End Park. John Kennedy, who was eventually replaced with Joos Valgaeren, was missing through injury when Dunfermline took the lead after nine minutes. Nicholson's cross found Hunt lurking eight yards out and the Republic of Ireland Under-21 international rose above his markers to head past Douglas.
The lead only lasted three minutes, Larsson rising to meet an Alan Thompson corner to head powerfully home from 10 yards.
It was three goals in five minutes, with Varga this time hanging in the air to power home a Thompson free kick into the box.
Dunfermline's poor marking at set-pieces was exposed again after 42 minutes as Larsson rose above Thomson to head home another Thompson corner.
Dunfermline were looking more composed but went further behind after 57 minutes. A Thompson free kick deflected off the edge of the wall and nestled in the far corner of the net with Stillie left helpless.
