CELTIC’S development side fought back to beat Dunfermline 2-1 at Lennoxtown on Wednesday afternoon.
Despite dominating the match and creating a raft of chances, a youthful Hoops side went behind to their more experienced opponents late in the game.
However, Patrik Twardzik restored parity, before an own goal – following some good work from the Czech youngster – in the final minutes of the match handed Danny McGrain’s side the spoils.
Speaking to the official Celtic website after the match, the coach said: “They scored with around 10-15 minutes to go totally against the run of play. But that’s football.
“Credit to the boys, they dug in and got a goal within three or four minutes of them scoring and always looked like we could threaten and get the winner which we did.”
“They had some half chances but we showed more pace and ability and should have won the game by a greater margin. It was a very young team that was out and they did very well."
CELTIC (4-4-2) Cervi; McGinn (O'Donnell 60), Toshney, Hughes, Brennan; McGregor (Gormley 70), Lowdon, F. Twardzik, Carey; P. Twardzik, Murphy (Atajic 60)
