Much of the post-match talk at Dens Park was about strikers.
Dundee played three of them, and Celtic just the one.
But the main reason this match was such a stroll for the visitors was the battle in midfield that they won comprehensively.
Last season in England, Liverpool became the masters of recycling the ball in that area of the pitch with their eager pressing game.
This season in Scotland, Celtic are starting to reap the rewards of their own combative approach.
For Jordan Henderson read Scott Brown.
Time after time the Dundee middle of the park men threw away possession or had it ripped off them. Their most composed footballer, Kevin Thomson, was sorely missed.
With three attackers on the field, turn-over ball in midfield was their Achilles heel as they were exposed by numbers alone and no small amount of skill to go with it.
The two goals didn’t actually come as a result of this sort scenario, but countless other chances did.
Celtic will probably win the league by double figures, and a treble is a realistic possibility.
In this from, if any team is going to beat them in the last few months of the season they’ll have to match them up in midfield.
Outnumbering them with forwards doesn’t look like working.
