Charlie Mulgrew celebrated his first Scotland call-up with a wonderful strike in a 2-0 victory over Dunfermline at Parkhead which helped take Celtic 20 points clear of Rangers at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.

In the 33rd minute of one of the most one-sided games of the season, Mulgrew, in Craig Levein's squad for the friendly against Slovenia next week, fired high past Chris Smith from 30 yards for the opener.

The Fifers' goalkeeper saved the Pars from more suffering until the 76th minute when substitute James Forrest, on for Emilio Izaguirre, made it 2-0 from close range.
