Celtic moved to three points away from the Premiership title but there wasn’t much to cheer from their 2-1 win over Dundee.

Brendan Rodgers side looked tired as they tried to break down Dundee with just a stoppage time strike from Jozo Simunovic separating the teams at the interval.

The one moment of quality came early in the second half when James Forrest created space then cut a cross back for Stuart Armstrong who headed powerfully across Scott Bain into the net.

It should have been a routine win from that point but a magnificent strike from Dundee substitute Faissal el Bakhtaoui in the 76th minute ensured a nervy finish to the match.

When the final whistle blew Celtic went 25 points ahead of Aberdeen, if Derek McInnes’ side lose at Dundee on March 31 or Celtic win away to Hearts on April 2 Brendan Rodgers side will be crowned as champions.
