Early on it all looked so easy. Kyogo had an excellent chance saved by McCracken in the Dundee goal, then our usually prolific striker shot wide from 12 yards with the goal gaping. Dundee settled after that, although their earlier attempt, which forced a save from Kasper Schmeichel, was their only chance of the game.
Most of the grumblings around me focussed on the wings, where Luis Palma and Yang were given rare and even rarer time on the field respectively. Palma was supported by the returning Greg Taylor, while Anthony Ralston was on the right with Yang.
Most of Celtic’s play went down the left, even Ralston’s most adventurous passing found Palma. Yang was an isolated bit part to the occasion, so of course he would not be productive.
Brendan Rodgers likes to make changes soon after the hour but last night he moved after 55 minutes. Alistair Johnston, Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate came on for Ralston, Paulo Bernardo and Yang. Within 5 minutes the contest was over.
At Motherwell on Sunday, Johnston scored with a well-timed run to the back post, last night, it was an equally well-timed run to the front post, were he scored from the narrowest of possible angles to the relief of the crowd.
Seven minutes later, Arne Engels carried the ball 60 yards before slipping it to Kyogo, who was tripped inside the box. Engels rolled the resultant penalty into the net to conclude the scoring. Many in the North Stand expected the penalty award to be overturned for an adjacent incident – but that will remain between us.
The walk along London Road was punctuated by news from Pittodrie that our nearest rivals had beaten the bookies second favourites for the title. No one on the packed street was conflicted. – Aberdeen do not have what it takes to win the league. A cup is another matter.
