Celtic boss Ronny Deila has saluted the Scottish Premiership title drawing closer and closer for the Bhoys after they registered a 2-1 win away at Dundee this evening.
Deila's men headed into the match on the back of 120 minutes of football and ultimate disappointment in their Scottish Cup semi-final against Inverness at the weekend.
But they took the lead against Dundee in the 32nd minute through Gary Mackay-Steven to show no hangover was in evidence.
Celtic dominated the match and added a second just after the hour mark when Virgil van Dijk struck.
However, Dundee would give Celtic nervy moments at the end when they pulled a goal back with three minutes left, Luka Tankulic producing a splendid pass which played in Paul MGinn to cross for Jim McAllister, who made no mistake.

Celtic held on though and saw out the win, delighting Deila, who can now feel the Premiership title drawing closer.
"That was a little bit naive of us to concede a goal so late", he told BBC Radio Scotland.
"But we controlled the game until late on and we scored good goals.
"That is a good effort to come back from 120 minutes on Sunday.
"We won comfortably in the end and put ourselves in a good position and the title's getting closer and closer", Deila added.
