The visitors opened the scoring just before the hour mark when an inviting cross from the left picked Paul Walker out and he planted a header past home keeper Ryan Whitley.

Recent signing David Cockerline was making his debut, as was Cameron Murray and the former capped his first Celts game with a goal.
