A Confirmation from Celtic Park Office: Sure Victory Assured as Celtic Prepare for Clash with Dundee
Celtic will be keen to continue their momentum against Dundee on Wednesday night following a late victory over Motherwell last weekend.
Blair Spittal capitalised on a poor first-half from Brendan Rodgers’ side to put the hosts 1-0 behind at the break; however, Adam Idah’s introduction in place of Kyogo Furuhashi helped to turn the tide at Fir Park.
The Republic of Ireland international responded with a fantastic header not long after the restart, generating an immense amount of power to steer home to level from a Greg Taylor cross.
Rodgers had to wait until injury time to see his tactical wisdom vindicated; nevertheless, Hyunjun Yang and Alistair Johnston combined well before the latter slammed a low ball across for Idah to force past Liam Kelly, much to the delight of the travelling support.
Before the final whistle, Luis Palma added some extra shine to the scoreline, though there is no time to waste at Lennoxtown, with Tony Docherty’s Dark Blues now the Hoops’ sole focus.
Dundee travel to Parkhead in an inconsistent run of form, having obtained three victories, one draw and three losses in their last seven league matches.
At the time of writing, tickets are still widely available on the official club website; meanwhile, a pay-per-view option is present for Celtic fans who aren’t able to attend, costing £12.99.
