Celtic's dominance in the William Hill Premiership continues with a convincing 6-0 victory over Dundee. The Hoops extended their lead at the top of the table to 13 points, showcasing their strength and title aspirations.
Celtic asserted their dominance at the top of the William Hill Premiership , securing a resounding 6-0 victory over Dundee at Parkhead. This triumph extended their lead to an impressive 13 points with 13 games remaining, solidifying their position as the heavy favorites to retain their title for a fourth consecutive season. Midfielder Arne Engels opened the scoring with a penalty in the 18th minute, awarded after a VAR review.
Striker Adam Idah doubled the lead in the first half's added time, marking his fourth goal in just three games. The second half witnessed a relentless Celtic attack, with Japan winger Daizen Maeda scoring twice within a four-minute span. Engels added a glorious fifth goal in the 72nd minute, and substitute Nicolas Kuhn capped off the demolition with a curling shot in the far corner. Despite the emphatic win, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers expressed frustration over his inability to secure a replacement for Kyogo Furuhashi, who departed for French club Rennes in a reported £10 million deal. This match, initially postponed on January 25th due to storm damage at Celtic Park, showcased the Hoops' unwavering strength. Portuguese winger Jota, making his return after 18 months away, started the game following a crucial substitute appearance against Motherwell. Right-back Alistair Johnston and Engels were reinstated, while Dundee faced a depleted midfield with the absence of Lyall Cameron, who is set to join Rangers in the summer. Despite Dundee's valiant attempts, their attacks lacked coherence and precision, ultimately succumbing to Celtic's relentless pressure. The Hoops' victory solidified their position as the dominant force in Scottish football, leaving Dundee with a disheartening defeat
