Scott Allan believes his former team are missing their strongest trait despite their Scottish Cup<\/a> salvation job against Dundee.<\/p>\n The Premiership champions looked dead buried before Junior Adamu’s last-gasp flick sent the game to extra time before sizzling Seb Tounekti made it 2-1<\/a>.<\/p>\n But Allan reckons Steven Pressley’s impressive Dark Blues thrived in a less-than hostile environment due to Celtic’s inability to squeeze them into submission \u2013 a telling trait when the Hoops are in full flow.<\/p>\n Celtic were taking on Dundee amid a boycot among a section of the club’s supporters<\/a> but the former Parkhead playmaker reckons their biggest concerns were on the pitch, not off it.<\/p>\n Allan, speaking to Sportscene, said: “It’s certainly not scintillating football by any stretch of the imagination. I’m looking at Dundee playing out today, and as much as they were composed, the counter press from Celtic, it’s not there at the moment for me.<\/p>\n “There was time for Dundee players to pick a pass, get their heads up. You’re used to seeing Celtic get really after people, put them under pressure. That wasn’t there today. But a positive was Junior Adamu coming on and making his debut, scoring at that stage of the game and really introducing himself to the Celtic support.”<\/p>\n Fellow pundit Lee Miller referenced the ongoing fan ire but was keen to note those who did attend made their feelings clear as well.<\/p>\n He said: “I think there was a boycott from the Celtic fans but certainly the ones that were in the stadium voiced their opinions.”<\/p>\n Follow Record Sport on Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.<\/p>\n You can get all the news you need on our dedicated Rangers<\/a> and Celtic<\/a> pages, and sign up to our newsletters<\/a> to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.
