Two first-half goals helped Celtic keep leaders Rangers, as the green-and-white hoops earned a 2-1 win over Dunfermline at Parkhead on Wednesday.
Gary Hooper scored in the 6th minute and James Forrest added a second just seven minutes later to help Celtic claim its tenth win of the Scottish Premier League season.
Andrew Barrowman pulled a goal back in the 86th minute, but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation strike as Dunfermline failed to find an equalizer in the dying minutes.
