Celtic faced off against Dundee in a midweek match at Parkhead, looking to maintain their unbeaten run in the league. Despite Dundee giving them a tough challenge, Celtic managed to secure a 2-0 victory with goals from Alistair Johnston and Arne Engels.
Brendan Rodgers made significant changes to the Celtic lineup, with six new players taking the field. The gamble didn’t quite pay off, and Rodgers had to make early substitutions to inject some life into the team.
Young players like Luis Palma and Yang Hyun-jun had a chance to prove themselves, but they struggled against a resilient Dundee defense. The match also highlighted the importance of having key players like Adam Idah and Callum McGregor back in the squad for future games.
A minute’s applause was held in memory of Tommy Callaghan, a former Celtic midfielder who recently passed away. Callaghan’s legacy and contributions to the club were honored before the game began.
Dundee showed determination and resilience throughout the match, with goalkeeper McCracken making crucial saves to keep his team in the game. Despite the loss, Dundee will take positives from their performance and look to build on it in future matches.
Overall, Celtic’s victory keeps them at the top of the table, but Rodgers will be aware that improvements are needed, especially with a tough game against Aberdeen coming up. The match served as a reminder of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for both Celtic and Dundee in the Premiership.
