Team News

Celtic
Dundee FC
  • Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers named four changes to the Celts side that shut out Atalanta 0-0 in the Champions League to pick up a precious point in Bergamo, before they got back to winning ways with a 3-0 victory over Motherwell.
  • Kasper Schmeichel continued in goal, behind an unchanged back four of Alex Valle, Liam Scales, Auston Trusty and Alistair Johnston as Greg Taylor and Cameron Carter-Vickers continued to miss out through injury.
  • Captain Callum McGregor and Arne Engels made way in midfield, as Luke McCowan and Paulo Bernardo were handed starts. Daizen Maeda kept his place as he and the incoming James Forrest supported Kyogo as opposed to Adam Idah and Nicholas Kühn.
  • Dundee manager Tony Docherty made one change from the Dee team that clinched a much-needed away victory over Motherwell by a sole goal at Fir Park, before they lost in controversial circumstances 2-1 to St Johnstone on Saturday.
  • Trevor Carson continued in goal behind Ryan Astley, Clark Robertson and Billy Koumetio in the Dee defence. Ziyad Larkeche and Ethan Ingram continued as the wing-backs. Finlay Robertson and Lyall Cameron remained in the middle of the park.
  • They were joined by Mo Sylla, who returned from his suspension, who took Scott Fraser's place. Simon Murray, who netted the opener against St Johnstone at Dens Park, partnered Curtis Main up front.

Prediction

  • Two of last season's top six meet in Glasgow, as league leaders Celtic host Dundee who hope to sneak back into the top half of the Scottish Premiership table.
  • The weekend win saw Celtic clinch their seventh away league wins on the spin, as the league leaders last won more league matches in a row on their travels back in February 2020 (run of nine). The Celts have now won their last ten trips to Motherwell, scoring 33 goals in the process (averaging 3.3 per game), as Fir Park has proved a happy hunting ground for the Hoops in recent years.
  • Dundee took an early lead in the Tayside derby against St Johnstone but, having won their last two meetings with the Perth outfit, they blew the chance to record a third win on the spin against Saints in the top flight for the first time since April 2002. The Dee's last victory over Celtic came in Glasgow, back in May 2001, but they haven't beaten the Hoops at Dens since September 1988.
  • Celtic won all four league meetings with Dundee last season, by an aggregate score of 15-2, and the Hoops hammered the Dee 3-0 in the first of that quartet so could repeat the feat in midweek.
