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. Daizen Maeda missed a late chance but the performance was dominant, despite some teething problems. Here's 6 things you didn't see.

Rodgers this week emphasised the complexity which underpins his way of working and, perhaps, some of the finer details need ironed out for the litany of fringe men who starred against the Dark Blues. Luis Palma – an already polarising figure among supporters – once again had moments of both good and bad. But whether you are for or against, Palma is the opposite of a shirker, he demands the ball and the responsibility.

His substitution in the 57th minute was a microcosm of where he is – a player not trusted to win the game. Even his cameos often come after games are secured. Yang was neat and tidy outwith his assist, while Anthony Ralston was cumbersome – it wasn't a perfect night for those usually on the outside looking in.
