11 PICTURES: Derry City's 3-2 victory over Celtic in only competitive clash

City took the lead three times during the game. GARY BECKETT opened the scoring on 8 minutes only for PAOLO DI CANIO to pull one back for Celtic on the 35 minute mark to leave it 1-1 at half-time.
In the second half a cross-cum-shot from Peter Hutton was scuffed into his own net by Celtic full back TOM BOYD after 74 minutes before Danish midfielder MORTEN WIEGHORST again equalised just two minutes later (79 minutes).
