    I see what you're getting at there and we need to shift that mindset.
    From what I've seen the Celtic CB's are maybe more vulnerable than the Sevco ones but only if you get at them. Vickers is good but Starfelt is nothing great and I'd back Niskanen to skin him one on one. It's getting him one on one that's the hard bit.

    We should be looking to get Watt and Niskanen down the flanks into the corners and trying to nick the ball off them for corners. Get some high balls flighted in, we might not score like Graham did but there's always the chance of the second ball. Celtic is set up 100% for attack, eg Abada Ralston Taylor all decent going forward but not as good defensively.

    Take the boys for walk Ivan Courts 😎

    That Norwegian team took their defence to the cleaners mate and the Dees scored twice,both games at fortress Parkhead,i know they are brilliant going forward we all know that BUT they are still bang average at the back.

    The problem for us is we just do not get near enough that dodgy defence to silence their support who turn Tannadice into a home venue for them.If we were to score first its a different kettle O fish altogether.The Dees never scored twice yesterday because of the new manager bounce they managed it because Celtic have a piss poor defence,FACT.
