Drey Wright is in some discomfort and it looks like game over for the little Dundee midfielder.

Former Hibernian midfielder on BBC SportsoundIt's all getting a bit desperate [for Celtic] in terms of hoping one of your players is going to come up with a bit of magic.

Another drive from Reo Hatate, another Dundee block, this time from the backside of Luke Graham.
It might sting a bit but he's stopped a certain goal.

Still checking... And now Matthew McDiarmid is off to have a look at the screen.
Does the ball hit Digby in the dish - or on the chest?
PENALTY TO CELTICpublished at 70 mins

Dundee 2-0 Celtic
Never mind sacking the board it's plainly obvious now that Rodgers has not a clue had lost the dressing room and has no plan B his style of play is stifling all this back and sideways stuff this is not the Celtic way!
Helen
No disrespect to Dundee but Celtic are just dire and predictable. Maybe a manager change may stop this mediocrity. Also big Ange is available.
Stefan
Shooting in football is the act of kicking or heading the ball towards the goal with the intention of scoring, someone needs to remind Celtic that

Match Facts
Dundee are winless in their last 46 meetings with Celtic in all competitions (D7 L39) since a 2-0 victory in May 2001 under Ivano Bonetti. Indeed, Celtic have only ever had longer unbeaten streaks against two sides in their history: Partick Thistle (50 from Dec 1897 to Apr 1923) and Dumbarton (50 from Oct 1892 to Jan 2007).
Celtic are unbeaten in their last 36 visits to Dundee in all competitions (W28 D8) since a 0-1 defeat in September 1988 under Billy McNeill – it’s their longest ever away unbeaten run against any side in their history.
Dundee have lost both of their last two league games by an aggregate score of 5-0, last losing three in a row without scoring in December last season.
Celtic haven’t conceded more than one goal in any of their last 10 away games in all competitions (5 goals conceded), their longest such run since going 11 without shipping twice from February to September 2022.
Dundee have both had the fewest shots (58) and faced the most shots (115) of any side in the Scottish Premiership this season. Celtic, meanwhile, have fired in the most shots (114) and faced the fewest (41).
