Benjamin Nygren nods Celtic to hard-fought opening win over Dundee

The match saw several notable developments, including the debuts of high-profile signings such as Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh, as well as the return of players like Alistair Johnston and Arne Engels. Despite a lackluster first half, Celtic gradually gained control, with Nygren proving crucial in the second half.
