Celtic manager Gordon Strachan admitted it had been a good day for the league leaders as they restored their 13-point lead and boosted their goal difference.
"The players had a reputation to uphold and I asked them to go out and do that against Dunfermline," said Strachan.
"I thought Mark Wilson and Stephen McManus were phenomenal in terms of their build-up play and Shaun Maloney's goal was tremendous.
"It was similar to Jim Hamilton's goal against us - he hit it very well."
Celtic captain Neil Lennon described the game as a "JFK moment" after he scored his first goal in more than four years.
"I'm delighted with the goal. It was a great day for us," he added.
"I remember the last time I scored Martin O'Neill said he was pencilling another one in for 2006 and I thought 'cheeky get' but I don't know when the next one will come.
"Shaun's goal was great and it sums up his season and Zurawski was magnificent."
