Forrest brace restores Celtic's lead at summit
James Forrest scored twice as Celtic regained its three-point cushion at the Scottish Premiership summit with a narrow 2-1 victory over Dundee.
Rangers had applied the pressure earlier in the day with a 2-1 win at St Mirren, moving Philippe Clement's side level on points with the Hoops.
But Celtic did not twitch, with Forrest volleying it ahead on the half-hour mark before doubling the lead in the 67th minute.
Antonio Portales pulled a goal back for Dundee seven minutes later with his first league strike of the season, but the visitors held on to pull clear at the top once more with five games remaining.
Celtic has now won its past 10 league matches against Dundee and is unbeaten in 43 meetings overall since a 2-0 defeat in May 2001, only enjoying a longer such streak against Dumbarton (50).
