No start of season stumble for Celtic

Morton gave a good account of themselves as they went down 2-1 to celtic and parkhead. The visitors had more than 6 good chances in the opening 12 minutes but failed to beat David Marshall who was nothing short of outstanding for the 1st 20mins. As Celtic weathered the Ton's storm they broke quickly and netted the opener through Maceij Zurawski, a fabulous strike from a quick break. Darryl Duffy should have scored from 3 yards out as he headed over but the killer blow came 8 mins from time as Chris Riggot netted the 2nd low from the edge of the area. Stefan Moore came on and looked lively and as Morton broke he netted a neat curler past Marshall to set up a nervous finish but Celtic survived and took all 3 points.
