The win was a positive start for Celtic as they began the defence of their league crown. Kieran Tierney also stood out in the match, showing his value to the side in the opening fixture. The result leaves Celtic with three points from their first game of the new season, while Dundee will take encouragement from a competitive performance despite leaving empty-handed.
