Breaking News: Chris Sutton commentator for TNT Sports gives his opinion on Celtic’s performance against Dundee after harsh comments recently.

As Chris Sutton has been so vocal in his criticism of Celtic over the past several weeks, the fact that he was impressed with the Bhoys’ performance away to Dundee is a testament to the fact that he has been so forthright.

After suffering defeats to Kilmarnock and Hearts in recent matches, the team managed by Brendan Rodgers earned the ire of the former Bhoys striker, who stated that Celtic had been below average for the bulk of the season.

However, he also stated that the manager had been “going through the motions” at Celtic since his return, which prompted Rodgers to give a forceful response in the lead-up to the victory over Livingston that took place over the weekend.

With a victory in Dundee, Celtic earns another three points.

The Celtic team came out with a lot of determination to win the match at Dens Park, but they went into the halftime break feeling dissatisfied since they had wasted multiple opportunities.

Thankfully, Paulo Bernardo and Mikey Johnston were able to find their way to the net, which resulted in a comfortably easy victory by a score of 3-0.

The performance left Sutton feeling optimistic, and he expressed his satisfaction on social media by saying, “A performance of real authority from Celtic.” Absolutely overpowering, but they ought to have been more vicious all throughout. Congratulations to Mikey Johnston for achieving his goals. Carter-Vickers is hobbling off, which is a huge blow.

After suffering a defeat at the hands of Hearts, supporters of the Bhoys were left with no question on their minds that the team could not afford to lose any more points before the derby match against Rangers.

Following the completion of that portion of the festive operation, the focus will now shift to the Ibrox side of the mission. By a significant margin, this is the most difficult obstacle that Celtic must overcome before the winter break. Philippe Clement’s team has been achieving regular results ever since he joined the club.

Even if they were to avoid losing over the weekend, it would be a good thing, but a victory is what every Celtic fan wants. In the event that Rodgers’ team is successful in accomplishing this, a significant portion of the criticism that has been leveled against them in recent times will be eliminated for the second half of the season.

Latest news: After Dundee’s two goals from player, Brendan Rodgers makes a statement about the future role that Mikey Johnston will play for Celtic

At Dens Park, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers was thrilled with the performance of winger Mikey Johnston, who scored twice to help Celtic to a 3-0 victory over Dundee. Johnston’s performance earned him praise from Rodgers.

Johnston entered the game with the intention of taking advantage of the fatigue that was present in the legs of the Dundee defense. He needed to create space to punish them with direct dribbling and combinations in the final third of the field.

However, his second goal was a strong finish, and the Ireland international went on to try to complete a hat trick. His first goal may be regarded the result of Trevor Carson’s mistake in goalkeeping, but his second goal was a solid finish.

It was his first goals for the Bhoys since the year 2019, and they came after he had been a starter for four games throughout the month of December.

In spite of the fact that he made a contribution on Boxing Day, it appears that starting from this point forward, he will be utilized as an impact substitute rather than being considered by the manager as a starting option.

Mikey Johnston’s Celtic role is being played by Brendan Rodgers.
“The challenge for Mikey was the fact that he had played a lot of games back to back, and he hasn’t done that much for Celtic,” the Celtic manager stated in an interview with The Scotsman that was published in December. It has the potential to boost his self-assurance.

A wonderful thing about Mikey is that he has maintained his fitness. We are continuing to work with him, and we believe that he has the potential to come into the game and make an impact. However, it is up to him to decide whether or not he will be a Celtic player. Both of the goals that he scored were a source of great satisfaction for us.

There is still no indication as to whether Johnston is interested in playing a role of that nature for the Bhoys. Until the summer of 2026, he is under contract with the team that is now the champions.

Recent interviews, on the other hand, have revealed that he has expressed a desire to be playing on a regular basis at this point in his career. Because the transfer window for the month of January is about to open, there is always the possibility that he will leave the club.

At Celtic Park, it is quite unlikely that he will ever be considered a star among the starting options. Despite the fact that he fulfills a few requirements for an impact substitute, he would have to be content with the fact that this is his position at the Bhoys.
