Against Dundee, Paul Bernardo and Mike Johnston emerged as unexpected goalscoring heroes for Celtic. Bernardo scored his first Celtic goal with a close-range shot in the 52nd minute, while Johnston came off the bench to secure a comfortable 3-0 victory with two goals, his first for the team since December 2019. However, the victory was overshadowed by an injury to Celtic centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers. Shortly after Bernardo's goal, Carter Vickers left the pitch and was escorted away by the team doctor after discussing with manager Brandon Rodgers on the sidelines.
This has caused concern among Celtic fans, as Carter Wickers recently missed two and a half games with a hamstring injury. Despite injury troubles, Celtic were in control of the game and claimed their seventh consecutive away win since Christmas. The win cemented their lead in the Scottish Premiership table, five points ahead of Rangers who had two unfinished games. Throughout the game, Celtic dominated possession and created a couple of chances, with Ian almost shooting a bow into the back of the net but narrowly wide.
Liam Scales and Matt O'Reilly'Riley) also had a chance, but couldn't find the back of the net. It was Bernardo who eventually broke the deadlock and took advantage of a Dundee throw-in mistake to find the back of the net. Johnston's late two goals sealed the victory for Celtic, who scored brilliant goals in the 83rd minute and stoppage time. Despite failing to score a hat-trick, Johnston showed his quality as an attacking player and helped the team to victory.
