Maeda And Engels Lead Celtic To Scottish Cup Victory

Celtic extended their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to 13 points with a 6-0 demolition of Dundee at Celtic Park. Arne Engels opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 18th minute after a VAR review, before Adam Idah doubled the lead in first-half stoppage time.

Daizen Maeda struck twice in four second-half minutes just before the hour mark, and Engels added a brilliant fifth in the 71st minute. Substitute Nicolas Kühn curled in the sixth to complete the rout for Brendan Rodgers's side.

The match, postponed last month due to Storm Éowyn damage, saw Celtic dominate from start to finish. Jota, who recently returned to the club, started and played a key role in several goals.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers praised Idah, saying: 'I'm so pleased for him, he's just moving different now and he's getting a real handful.' Dundee boss Tony Docherty admitted: 'It was a tough one in the end. We lost poor goals and we take full responsibility.'
