Darren Lockhart came closest to breaking the deadlock in a scoreless first half when he directed the ball onto the left upright.

However the home crowd had to wait until the 77th minute to cheer a goal when Alain Emerson pounced on a mix-up in the Celtic defence to knock the ball on for David Rainey to head past Declan Brown.

And ten minutes later Chris Morrow made sure of the points with a stunning volley into the top left corner after collecting the ball from Rainey some 25 yards out.
