Celtic made a statement with an fantastic display as they thrashed Dundee on Wednesday evening. The Scottish Champions won 7-1 and were utterly relentless in the first half, going in at the break 6-0 up, with six different goalscorers. Brendan Rodgers was beaming as his team showed their bite by making a statement with the victory over the visitors from Dundee.
Cameron Carter-Vickers opened the scoring by rising to beat Trevor Carson with a header from a Matt O’Riley free-kick. Winger Yang did brilliantly to win the free-kick after beating Owen Beck, forcing him to make a challenge.
Adam Idah made it 2-0 after the Irishman headed an Alistair Johnston into the net. The big striker followed up with his impressive brace at Fir Park with another goal after 18 minutes.
Matt O’Riley made it 3-0 just four minutes later after a good cross from Greg Taylor.
Daizen Maeda cut back inside from the right and fired the ball into the net with a tidy curled effort.
Greg Taylor made it 5-0 after the fullback arrived into the box to tap in
Callum McGregor rounded off the scoring in the first half by playing a one-two with Taylor and hitting the ball beyond Carson to make it 6-0.
It was 7-0 as Daniel Kelly used his weak foot to direct a Yang cross into the top corner, marking his debut with a fantastic goal. The youngster had family and friends inside the stadium and he will hope he can replicate the skipper, who he replaced at HT, by progressing to the very top.
