    Feels like overkill. Bad penalty yes. Worst no.

    I can remember Wdowczyk just about hitting the corner flag against Aberdeen in a Semi-final at Hampden.

    Even good players miss penalties.

    His penalty sums up Dundee at the moment poor

    Promising young winger and forward at 15/16. We convert to a left back, obviously ends horribly.

    Another career wasted.

    I watch highlights of Dundee matches whenever I can to see how the kid is doing, and in fact, he is involved in most of the good plays and goal opportunities.

    Their team is really bad. Having a left back taking penalties is also a very unusual step, he is not supposed to be the best finisher in the team. As some pointed above, our idea of converting him to left back did some damage to his career, and loaning him to such a * team where there is nothing to learn might damage it further.

    Is it? Paul Breitner and Andy Brehme have both scored penalties in World Cup finals! Ian Harte, Leighton Baines Sinisa Mijhalovic, Aitor Larrazabal, Julian Dicks, David Unsworth,Dinny Irwin etc. All Left-backs who were excellent from the spot, off the top of my head!

    Think he just meant it is quite weird for a young loan, left back to be taking penalties. So it's probably telling us that he is of a higher technical standard than their other players if they're turning to him to take penalties so not a great deal in it.

    Amazing the difference when he’s played in his natural position.

    Never a LB.

    Yeah, fair enough. I thought he was playing further up for them though? They seem a club in disarray though. Can't say I was ever fond of them.

    Good to see him getting a goal.

    He is playing left midfielder now, back in that game he was left back.

    And yes, that was the thing, a young guy who has just arrived in the club and is supposed to be a defensive player. I would imagine it would be the orange Miller taking penalties or something

    Recalled by Celtic is the actual story, Dundee would have loved to have him stay.

    Does say that he was one of 3 released to free up wages in a number of reports. Regardless, from what I saw of Dundee he was one of their better players.

    Would like to see him played somewhere else other than LB as don't think that is his natural position but if he has been brought back by Celtic would assume it is to provide additional cover for that position.

    He's as much as a LB as McGregor, he's ability is utterly wasted in that position.

    He’s still a better option at LB than Izaguirre.

    Can he be loaned out to another team this season?
