Dazzling Jota shines brightest in Dens Park demolition job
Portuguese winger gives board plenty to ponder as front three take Dundee defence to pieces again
with Callum McGregor before cutting back for Furuhashi to smash the ball in off Legzdins’ near post. It was breath-taking stuff, and far too much for the Dundee defence to cope with.
Adam was removed from the action for his own good, before Furuhashi – who had taken some heavy treatment – was also taken off on the hour along with Abada to give Giorgos Giakoumakis and James Forrest a taste of the action.
The hosts at least got themselves a consolation, with a helping hand from Hart in the Celtic goal. He came for Jordan Marshall’s cross from the left, got nowhere near it, and allowed Ashcroft to nod home into the empty net.
It mattered little. Jota and Co had done the damage. The winger left the field to be replaced by Mikey Johnston with cries of “Celtic, sign him up” ringing in his ears from the away end.
That is one piece of advice from the fans the board would do well to heed.
