'A joke', 'FFS', 'Where's the real line-up?' - Celtic fans fume at line-up decision v Dundee
Celtic fans on social media aren’t happy with the team chosen by Brendan Rodgers to face Dundee on Wednesday night.
The Hoops boss made two changes from the side which defeated Ross County on Saturday in a team which was announced on the Hoops’ official Twitter page.

Whilst the return of Craig Gordon to replace the ineligible Scott Bain was expected, the decision to drop the Hoops’ best centre-back Kristoffer Ajer to the bench wasn’t.
The decision to replace Ajer with the struggling Dedryck Boyata has made the decision by the Hoops boss even worse in the eyes of some supporters, whilst some were upset at the decision to leave midfield Olivier Ntcham on the bench for the second game running.
Here are some of the best reactions to the Hoops’ team news from Twitter:
Ajer dropped but boyata starts hahahahahahahaha

Despite the misgivings of some fans, the Hoops are in a good position in the Scottish Premiership title race, needing only three more wins to clinch their seventh title in a row.

A win over Dundee would see the Bhoys move 12 points clear of second placed Aberdeen, and a massive 15 points clear of bitter rivals Rangers.
The Hoops will be looking to make it three wins out of three against the Dens Park club, having already recorded 1-0 and 2-0 victories earlier in the season.
