Grant Holt scores a late winner as Norwich claim a 1-0 pre-season victory over Celtic at Parkhead.

Grant Holt scored an 89th-minute winner as Norwich City recorded a 1-0 pre-season victory over Celtic at Parkhead this evening.

The Canaries striker, who had requested a move away from the club earlier this summer, took the captain's armband after coming on as a second-half substitute.

Simeon Jackson had earlier seen his effort saved well by Frazier Forster, while Chris Martin also went close for Chris Hughton's side.

It was far from a one-sided affair though as Celtic threatened to open the scoring themselves on several occasions.

Kris Commons's long-range effort was deflected just wide in the early stages of the second period.

Greece striker Georgios Samaras then came even closer as his lobbed effort landed on the roof of the net.

Just as it appeared that the match would finish goalless, Holt latched on to the rebound of Jonny Howson's parried shot to poke home from six yards.
