Brendan Rodgers was clearly frustrated after seeing his team’s botched attempt to stop Dundee’s third goal. His sardonic assessment perfectly captured the league leaders’ subpar defensive play, so you didn’t need to be an expert lipreader to see his reaction.
Dundee rallied twice at Dens Park before Aaron Donnelly’s header gave them a late lead. After just five minutes, Luke McCowan gave his previous club the lead with a strong header, but Tony Docherty’s players didn’t panic. The home team’s Oluwaseun Adewumi scored an incredible equaliser to tie the score at halftime following a swift counterattack.
Early in the second half, Celtic took the lead once more thanks to a close-range nod from Yang, but the Dark Blues immediately rallied. Josh Mulligan’s cross rebounded off Cameron Carter-Vickers and into the net, leaving Kasper Schmeichel alone. From there, Celtic looked frightened and Dundee smelt blood. Donnelly rose highest from a corner and nodded in with less than fifteen minutes left, giving the home team what appeared to be a well-earned moment.
Auston Trusty struggled through a horrific night. Trusty hardly got off the ground as Donnelly outjumped and outmuscled the American, hammering home a straightforward header. Shortly after, the cameras panned in on Rogers, who was seen mouthing the words “weak as p***” in exasperation. This was a brutally honest portrayal of his team’s weakness and might have been mirrored by the supporters at home and in the stands.
After 37 years, it appeared as though Celtic’s lengthy winning streak at Dens Park might finally come to an end. However, in the final seconds, Kuhn’s attempt inside the box was blocked by Mohamed Sylla’s outstretched arm, resulting in a clear penalty. Arne Engels calmly saved a point for the winners from the spot.
Despite escaping defeat, a performance full of defensive blunders and shaky moments will give the Rodgers plenty to ponder. Given how far ahead they are in the league, this squad lacks an advantage.They need to be shaken of that by Rodgers.
