Team News

Celtic
Dundee FC
  • Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers named four changes to the Celts side that was held at home in a 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock the weekend before last, before they left it late to beat Motherwell 3-1 at Fir Park on Sunday afternoon.
  • Alistair Johnston recovered from a head knock against Hibernian, to take Anthony Ralston's place at right-back. Maik Nawrocki also entered the back four, taking Stephen Welsh's place as Cameron Carter-Vickers returned to the bench.
  • Tomoki Iwata made his first Celtic appearance since December, starting in midfield alongside club captain Callum McGregor and Matt O'Riley. Nicolas Kühn replaced Luis Palma, who sealed the deal after Adam Idah's brace, on the right hand side.
  • Dundee boss Tony Docherty named an unchanged Dee team after a comfortable 2-0 victory at home to Ross County the weekend before last, despite losing 2-1 to Hibernian at Easter Road on Saturday afternoon.
  • Having played a back three often this season, the Dee opted to stay with four at the back. Jordan McGhee and Owen Beck continued at right-back and left-back respectively, with Joe Shaughnessy and Aaron Donnelly at centre-back.
  • Luke McCowan, Mo Sylla and Lyall Cameron continued as the midfield trio.
  • Dara Costelloe and Scott Tiffoney, who bagged a brace against County at Dens Park, supported sole striker Amadou Bakayoko in Edinburgh once more.

Prediction

  • Celtic and Dundee are hoping that a victory in midweek could see them climb the Scottish Premiership table, whilst hoping other teams slip up.
  • Celtic left it late at Fir Park for the second time this season, as two goals beyond 90 minutes saw them beat Motherwell 3-1, which they had to do after Rangers' comprehensive victory over Hearts at Ibrox on Saturday afternoon. The Hoops have recovered 10 points from losing positions, keeping them in the title hunt, as only weekend opponents Motherwell (11) have claimed more.
  • Dundee haven't won a top-flight league match at Easter Road since October 2001, but will be frustrated that they lost against a Hibernian team that claimed a first league win since the 9th of December. The Dee last recorded three consecutive away victories in the Scottish Premiership back in November 2014. May 2001 was the last time they left Celtic Park with three points too.
  • Celtic will hope to maintain pressure at the top with a win against Dundee, who have a horrendous record against the Hoops at home and also away in Glasgow.
