Tony Docherty hailed his Dundee performance as they caused Celtic to wobble.The Dark Blues boss felt his side deserved a famous win but were denied by a 93rd minute penalty from Arne Engels.
Dundee bounced back from losing an early goal as Oluwaseun Adewumi, an own goal from Cameron Carter-Vickers and a header from Aaron Donnelly almost gave them a famous win - which Docherty felt his team deserved.The Dundee boss highlighted the chasm in finances as three of Celtic's subs in Nicolas Kuhn, Luis Palma and Arne Engels – the latter of whom scored the crucial equalising penalty – cost around £17m between them.
Meanwhile he was forced to throw on Lyall Cameron from the bench who had told him he was only fit to play ten minutes.Docherty said: “I'm coming in here and I am disappointed because we had absolutely done enough to win the match.
I thought the word I would use for the players was heroic. When you see the substitutes that Celtic are bringing on, Kuhn, Engels and Palma, multi-million worth of talent.“I was bringing on Lyall Cameron, who wasn’t fit to play.
