This was reflected in Tayside, who put in a disastrous display that left far more questions than answers.<\/p>\n<p>    Dundee fired themselves up and took a well-deserved two-goal lead, but Celtic&#8217;s problems continued to emerge at an alarming rate and there was no sign of recovery, but the hosts were able to claim a win that proved their performance.<\/p>\n<p>Daenen Maeda&#8217;s injury left the Boies short on attacking options and they were ineffective from the start, but this is something the club&#8217;s hierarchy have a lot to answer for in the bigger picture.<\/p>\n<p>Still five points behind, they look ahead to their toughest week of the season so far, starting with a home game against Sturm Graz in the Europa League before a trip to Tynecastle to face Heart of Midlothian.<\/p>\n<p>A win in Edinburgh would reduce the gap to two points again. A loss could leave Celtic with an eight-point lead and a crucial game before the November international break.<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that the pressure on Rodgers has never been higher, even if he is severely lacking in terms of rank, but some believe Rodgers has a lot to answer for after another terrible day for the Scottish Premiership holders.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"chris-sutton-can-39-t-believe-hyunjun-yang-started-vs-dundee\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chris_Sutton_cant_believe_Yang_Hyun-joong_started_against_Dundee\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Chris Sutton can&#8217;t believe Yang Hyun-joong started against Dundee<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Speaking on Sky Sports, which was broadcast via<\/p>\n<p>he said: <em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand the decision to start Jan in front of James Forrest.
