It wasn’t Celtic at their devastating best, but there was enough on show to reassure us that the malaise which had afflicted the champions in recent weeks is easing.
Brendan Rodgers chopped and changed who accompanied Callum McGregor and Matt O’Riley in midfield, before handing Paulo Bernardo consecutive starts – and the team the chance to build some consistency. The Portuguese performed perfectly, pinching the opening goal to settle collective nerves.
The really swirls have been the fourth or fifth Celtic goal of the day, such was the volume and quality of chances passed up. At just the one goal down, Dundee were still on it until the late and effective cameo from Ireland’s Own, Mikey Johnston.
Aping Lius Palma’s signature move, Mikey cut inside from the left and unleashed a right foot shot into the fat corner. Minutes later he added a third.
Dundee were repeatedly cut open in the closing stages as the Tic’s passing game clicked.

Bada Bing…
With all due respect to Broony, if Harry Kewell goes we need a first teir coach to come in, maybe as joint assistant manager level. We are a grossly underprepared side, it is obvious. Ange did fine with the players he brought in yet had little time for the full squad or the junior side. The quality of our overall squad and B team is testament to that. Maybe Broony in for a development/academy type role?
*amidst all the scheitd about how poor our signings are I believe the manager gives the board a list pf positions he wants filled, they research to who is available and the cost tae as well as age etc and then give it back to him to make the FINAL selection, now I know BR has admitted he was happy with our signings but mibbees just mibbees he wisnae wantin tae criticise an “icon” he was just replacing.
As for signing “duds” who are internationalists and poty in their own countries don’t forget Raphael was an international and how many eastern European and Scandinavian players have we let go in recent years, the Henrik Larssons and Lubos are now few and far between and well out of our reach, and we only got them due to the managers we had at the time.
