‘He was very good’… Brendan Rodgers said one Celtic player was ‘fantastic’ in win over Dundee last night

What a win last night and, to be honest, I am still scratching my head at where that performance came from.

Now I know we got a glimpse of it in the second-half of the Motherwell win on Sunday but, jeez, not one Celtic supporter would have saw that coming last night.

A seven-goal hammering of Dundee wipes out the goal-difference advantage Rangers had over us at the top of the league and even though they scraped to a 2-1 win at Kilmarnock, there will be nerves over at Ibrox when they heard of this result.

But what is most pleasing is that every single player in that Celtic team was superb. To a man, it is hard to pick fault in any of their performances.

But Brendan Rodgers reserved special praise for one player and it was one who the Celtic manager admits that was struggling at the start of the season.

Brendan Rodgers was loving Hyunjun Yang’s Celtic performance

The Celtic manager was full of praise for the South Korean last night and specifically mentioned the winger due to his lack of form earlier this season.

Yang looked like a player bereft of confidence when he arrived in Glasgow but last night, he was brilliant and Rodgers had no qualms in pointing that out.

Rodgers said [BBC Radio Scotland], “I thought Yang was fantastic. Again, great to see him because earlier on in the season he had a problem with the young right wing back because he’s done really well against him.

“But I thought tonight he was very good. Inside, outside he was very creative.

“But overall, it was very pleasing that like I said, the manor of is always important.”

It certainly looks like Yang is starting to find the form that persuaded Celtic to splash out £2m for him in the summer.

And it couldn’t have come at a better time. The 21-year-old looks hungry and brave on the ball now and if he produces that kind of performance against Hearts on Sunday, you wouldn’t bet against the Bhoys coming away from Tynecastle with another three precious points.
