We’re a few days on from Celtic’s win over Dundee now.
But Kris Boyd still can’t get over a decision that even the Dundee manager was able to fully accept in the immediate aftermath of the game.
Steven Pressley said he had no complaints about the extra added-time that allowed Junior Adamu to equalise and keep Martin O’Neill’s side in the game.
It was, quite literally, the final action of normal time in the game, making it understandably excruciating for Pressley, or anyone of an anti-Celtic persuasion…
Step in, Mr. Boyd.
Is Sebastian Tounekti’s cameo against Dundee a turning point in his Celtic career?

As anyone who watched the game will know, the added period was extended due to Kieran Tierney receiving checks for a suspected concussion.
In the end, he was substituted for Marcelo Saracchi.

Reviewing the game for the Scottish Sun’s Go Ballistic, Boyd couldn’t look past his pre-held Celtic agenda.
He said: “Yeah, just play on until Celtic score.
“I think that’s what we got from Saturday night: we’ll play on until Celtic score. Fair play to them, they kept on going.
“It was a terrific finish. One of those ones that you just have to make perfect contact with and it ends in the bottom corner.
“As was Hamilton’s for Dundee. I know we’ll speak about Celtic, but what a strike that was. Incredible.
“And then Tounekti’s in extra-time. But I think, you know, Martin O’Neill and Celtic could look at it and laugh and joke about it…
“But there’s one thing about Celtic: they keep going until the end. They keep going. It’s not a coincidence that they get so many late goals.
“Because they keep asking questions of the opposition, and that’s what happened again on Saturday night.”
How good was Junior Adamu’s goal against Dundee?
Celtic’s substitute impact against Dundee
In the end, a game that was very nearly lost by Celtic’s starters was won by their substitutes.
The equalising goal came from a brilliant moment of creativity from Sebastian Tounekti, and Adamu’s finish was excellent.
But it wasn’t just that pair who impressed. Saracchi returned from injury and injected some much-needed intensity into Celtic’s performance.
After a poor performance from Paulo Bernardo who started, Luke McCowan also showed brilliant intent after his introduction.
