Brendan Rodgers has highlighted Stuart Armstronh’s outstanding contribution to Celtic’s title push.

While most of his team-mates had an off day at Dens Park the midfielder put in another quality display highlighted by a glancing header to put Celtic two in front early in the second half.

That took his tally for the season onto 12 goals and leaves the hoops just three points away from clinching a sixth consecutive title.

It took a stoppage time strike from Jozo Simunovic to give Celtic the lead with the hoops short of the form that has taken them well clear in the title race.

James Forrest assisted in both goals before being replaced by Patrick Roberts in the 71st minute.

Celtic can now win the title by beating Hearts at Tynecastle on April 2 although they could be crowned champions two days earlier if Aberdeen lose to Dundee at Dens Park.
