Half-Time Report: Leigh Griffiths gives Celtic lead

Leigh Griffiths scores to give Celtic a 1-0 lead over Dundee at half time in the Scottish Cup.

An early goal from Leigh Griffiths has given Celtic a 1-0 half-time lead over Dundee in the Scottish Cup at Dens Park this afternoon.

Celtic were ahead just six minutes into the tie as Mikael Lustig picked out Griffiths with a cross to the near post, leaving the striker to nod it in.

Kris Commons tried to set up a second for the visitors just a few minutes later, but Stefan Johansen lost the ball before he could fire in from the cross.

Scott Brown tried his luck from the edge of the box, but the captain's low strike was comfortably saved, before an attempt from a similar range from James Forrest flew wide.

Celtic continued to look the more likely as half time approached, but Commons's effort was saved as he attempted to slice it in from Brown's run, while Griffiths curled the ball just wide seconds before the break.
