After Celtic defeated Dundee 2-1 at Dens Park in the Scottish Premiership tonight, Brendan Rodgers has been responding. Rangers’ victory over St Mirren by the same scoreline earlier in the day has kept the Bhoys three points clear at the top of the table.
James Forrest was the game-changer on Tayside, scoring a magnificent double to bring back his Celtic best and seal the win. His initial shot was a fierce volley, and he shown incredible persistence to frustrate the opposition’s defense and score his second. It’s great to be able to rely on his experience and talent as Celtic pursues championships, and the manager has him playing at a peak point in the season. After the game, Aaron Rodgers acknowledged that his team wasn’t playing at its best but yet praised them for finishing the game.
Brendan Rodgers on Celtic’s Dens Park triumph When asked if the game’s ending was nerve-wracking, he responded, “It was,” in an interview with BBC Radio Scotland. At 2-0, we were in command of the game, but when the goal is scored, it gives them some hope, so you have to rally and guard your area. I was happy to cross the line even though there were a lot of balls, corners, and throw-ins inside the box.
It all depends on the pitch. You could tell from the play that the surface was uneven and dry, which never makes for a smooth game. Without a doubt, Dundee has had an outstanding campaign. Tony Docherty and his team have my utmost admiration. You have to get past the fact that they might pose a threat. “We performed better than we did today, but securing the three points was crucial, and the players delivered it admirably in the end.”
Celtic tests are ongoing. The team that Celtic will play next is Hearts, who defeated the Bhoys in their last two meetings. Despite being played at Celtic Park, that game will not be simple. In that match, Rodgers’ team must be prepared to battle and demonstrate that they are capable of controlling the ball, winning second balls, and producing obvious opportunities. A further triumph would be the ideal lead-up to the huge impending derby between Rangers and Chelsea.
