Ali revels in Accies’ victory at Celtic Park

Ali (23) stunned the 42,000 crowd by netting a 49th minute strike which incredibly put the newly-promoted Lanarkshire outfit top of the Scottish Premiership table with a well-deserved 1-0 victory.

“Scoring the winner at Parkhead was an amazing feeling,” Ali said.

“It was something that I’d dreamed about as a kid.

“For us to be the first Accies team to win at Celtic Park since 1938 is a remarkable feat. We have just carried on from where we left off last season when we were promoted through the play-offs.

“I would be disappointed now if we didn’t finish in the top six.”
