Celtic were held to a frustrating goalless draw at Tannadice on Sunday, from which there were few positives to take.
It was a lacklustre performance from the Bhoys, who were missing numerous key players through a combination of illness and injury.
Despite creating some opportunities, it ultimately ended all square in the city of discovery.
Fans will be left disappointed at full-time, and perhaps the sole highlight of the day for Celtic supporters watching on at home was the appearance of Joe Hart in the stands.
The ex-goalkeeper, who only retired in the summer past, was pictured in the stands with his son, wearing a khaki green jacket:

On a Sunday afternoon, in horrendous conditions, just three days before Christmas, Hart’s commitment to Celtic and continual support of the club was no more apparent than in his attendance at today’s match.
The Englishman has been at a few of his old club’s UEFA Champions League match-ups this campaign, indeed commentating on them for TNT Sports.
Sky were broadcasting today’s game, however, and Hart watched on from the stands.
He wouldn’t have been pleased with what he saw, though, as Brendan Rodgers’ men struggled to set the heather alight.
Regardless, they remain top of the Scottish Premiership at Christmas by nine points.
