Brendan Rodgers reveals fury after Celtic suffer major title blow with Dundee defeat

The match started chaotically, with Celtic fans throwing oranges and tennis balls onto the field in protest at the club's ownership.

And their day ended up going from bad to worse, with a Clark Robertson effort and Cameron Carter-Vickers own goal giving Dunee all three points.

Celtic have been a shadow of their usual selves this season, with Rodgers coming under pressure as a result.

Speaking after the game to the BBC, the 52-year-old criticised his side's performance and admitted they weren't good enough to get anything from the match.

"The result and performance are bitterly disappointing. Give credit to Dundee, they defended very well when they got in front," he said.

"All the statistics in the game show we dominated the ball, but we didn't do enough with it.

"We had some opportunities in the first half, got into some areas. Second half likewise.

"But we've seen that before in a number of games this season, six games we haven't scored in.

"We're just lacking that bit of finesse and quality in the final third of the pitch. If you can't break down teams that are [sitting] low, you're going to suffer.

"It was a disappointing day for us."

Rodgers also admitted that he might look to tinker with his Celtic side in the future, with Hearts currently comfortable at the summit.

He continued: "I think it's pretty clear why [we couldn't break Dundee down]. It's also something I have to try and fix, be it different profile of player.

"Ultimately, we have to be better. It's the responsibility of everyone, whether it's centre-halves, full-backs, central midfield players or strikers, to score goals.

"We have enough pressure, create enough opportunities from set-pieces. We have enough of the ball in open play.

"But we have to have more craft and cleverness to break teams down. Today, we got into good areas, but we're not really battering the door down."

Meanwhile, though it was a nightmare day for Celtic, it was a positive one for Dundee.

Head coach Steven Pressley was delighted with his side's display, while also singling out youngster Cam Congreve for praise.

"Proud is the word," he said.

"We worked exceptionally hard over the last couple of weeks. There was a lot of suffering [after losing to Aberdeen] but we've reacted in the best possible manner. You can work on certain aspects but the execution of it is down to the players. I thought to a man they were brilliant today.

"We need to be more aggressive as a team, aggressive in our duels. We asked more questions of Celtic than we have in previous games. We crossed more, we countered with more intent. When you see that coming together you're exceptionally proud.

"Playing against a Brendan Rodgers team you need a bit of luck and we had luck on our side and resilience.

"An outstanding performance from a young player [Cam Congreve]. He's come in, settled into the group extremely well. He's a player that can make the difference.

"We have to enjoy the win. For where we are, for the transition of the club, survival for us would be an achievement. Many of the pundits have tipped us for relegation and I understand why. But for us it's about taking small steps, not big steps, and today was a small step in the right direction.

"Football management is not easy. I have spoken a number of times, saying that I do not enjoy the job at times but the one comfort I have is a terrific group of players and that gets me out of bed in the morning."
