6 things you didn’t see in Celtic vs Dundee as Rodgers calls time on fringe show and old timers bring house down

Champions Celtic offered a timely reminder of their ability to outclass the opposition while operating below their top level in a routine 2-0 win over Dundee.

Brendan Rodgers handed a host of forgotten faces a start but it was old reliable Alistair Johnston who opened the scoring as he clambered off the bench to score before Arne Engels tucked home from the spot to double his side's lead.

Tony Docherty - left heartbroken by a 7-1 pasting here in February – will have been impressed by his side's gutsy efforts. It would be inaccurate to say Kyogo never fluffs his lines, however, the talismanic striker rarely passes up two gilt-edged chances in succession.

The second, perhaps, was his poorest finish during his three-and-a-half years in green and white, but he was on hand to win the penalty for Celtic which put this game beyond Dundee.
