Quick Review

Clyde twice had the ball in the net only for the officials to rule against them before Craig Bryson headed the First Division side in front. Brighton ran in to drill the ball under Boruc but referee Kenny Clark harshly ruled that Du Wei had been fouled. Clyde were sharp in attack and Alex Williams found the net after an almighty scramble in the penalty area. This time it was a linesman's flag that came to Celtic's rescue.
Clyde did not let the decisions get them down and took a thoroughly deserved 33rd-minute lead when Malone's cross was missed by Boruc and Bryson stooped to head into an empty net.
Shaun Maloney came close to an equaliser when he scurried away from the Clyde defence but his low, angled shot was saved by the legs of keeper Peter Cherrie.
Du Wei's disastrous afternoon continued when pulled down Brighton to concede a penalty only for Boruc to fling himself right to save O'Donnell's effort. But Clyde went further ahead in the 37th minute when O'Donnell's corner skimmed the head of Du Wei and Malone launched a wonderful volley high into the net.
O'Donnell then stole in front of Adam Virgo, a replacement for Du Wei, to crash a header against the base of the post.
On the hour, Keane found Aiden McGeady with a great pass from distance but the youngster fluffed an awkward shot with only Cherrie to beat from the edge of the penalty area.
Clyde tired as the game went on and Celtic clawed a goal back through Zurawski after 82 minutes. Celtic launched a series of long balls forward in the closing stages but the home defence coped comfortably to secure a major upset.
