I was annoyed at Dundee United, who were poor in the first half – not even setup defensively as well as teams near the bottom of the table, but then flipped into an effective pressing side late in the game. They are third in the table on merit and could have caused Celtic more trouble, had they gone for it earlier in the game.
So much of the football we watch is ‘Defence v Attack’, so all in the stadium were alarmed when it was announced that Nicolas Kuhn had dropped out of the lineup before kick-off. Nicolas is our most effective opener of tight defences, and the late change seemed to impact Celtic’s flow. Early in the game the ball most often went left, to Taylor and Maeda; Johnston and Yang were less involved.
23 minutes in, however, Johnston found Yang (unconventionally) to create the opening goal. United manager Jim Goodwin was correctly annoyed at his defence, who had chances to clear, but were not as sharp as Daizen Maeda.
Luis Palma made a late cameo appearance, flavoured with a delightful outside of the foot pass to create the opening for the second goal. The pass was followed by a perfect example of ‘less is more’. Another cameo – Paulo Bernardo – dummied the ball before it rolled into the path of Reo Hatate to score.
That defeat at the start of the month seems a long time ago now.

Dundee reserves might just do this.
Walking away the rangers way ,, sing the Dundee fans
Seeing McCausland on there reminded me of that ol’ Glasgow quip…
“Should guys wi sharp features be allowed to cut up side streets?”
Diomande thunders one off the bar.
Adeyumi at Dundee has something about him. Pace, technical, work rate and composure
Dundee number 11 causing this hun mob all kinds of grief
injury time length?
4min
jesus
Enough time for Dundee to finish it
First half was a minute added. Would guess 4-5 mins this half for subs and VAR and give r2ngers a hand time.
Four minutes added…
Cortez the naeskiller
Last minute.
These new hun players haven’t learned the art of falling in the box like the Gerrard team
R2ngers cut Celtic lead.
😁
Oh dear.
Just 15 points now.
“Gers close gap on leaders Celtic”
I may laugh.
That will do, off for a wee look on the asylum that is FF
Onion bears pointing and shouting at the a team
I may have another beer.
The support of the fans plus the effort of their team should dispel any notion that Dundee lie down for the Huns.
The Huns when they have to make the game rather than hitting on the break are hopeless, that is how you play against them, they’re murder don’t attack them and wait for them giving you the ball.
Boooooooo! 3 wins in 11 away games.
More convinced by the day that our squad must’ve been ravaged by illness prior to that loss at Ibrox.
Brendan just won’t allow the players to use it as an excuse.
Thats my opinion for what it’s worth. Nothing else makes much sense.
Tbf, the Huns had their ‘us v Leipzig’ game that night as well. Doubt they’ll be able to repeat it.

Crocker is a hun . He twice referred to the 2nd Jan game as a “glorious” and a “magnificent” win for Rangers* Quite apart from the general tone of his commentary .
Well done Dundee … 15 points clear.
