We are fixing 2" equivalent celotex boards using dot and dab and some nail in fixings. What is the best way to fix the plasterboard on top of this?

I'd use 50mm x 50mm battens every 600mm and fit the insulation between these, then you screw the plasterboard into the battens, no need to attach the insulation to anything then (other than foaming gaps and taping joints.
Why not fit insulation backed plasterboard?

I second that. Cleaner, neater, easier.
Thanks people but the reason for not using the insulated plasterboard is one of weight. We're doing the job ourselves we're both retired and a height difference means we were not sure we'd be able to get it upstairs let alone up the wall.
