bounded onto his hand and Celtic converted from the spot to g o one up. The second instance was when a Celtic defender delibertely handled in his area. The referee saw it as outside, so Celtic escaped with a free kick. The pressure was on Ruapehu throughout the first half but they should have equalised a couple of times. Celtic went two up in the second half. A right-wing cross found a Celtic forward at the near post who planted the ball past keeper Dean Drayton. Duane Dixon came back with a brilliant goal after 75 minutes. His powerful shot from outside the area was too hard for the keeper to push out and Ruapehu were back in the game. Seven minutes from time Celtic scored from another controversial incident. The Ruapehu defence laid back after seeing three attackers offside, but the referee let play go on which resulted in Celtic breaking free to win by 3:1.
