Dundee and Celtic are preparing for an exciting match at Dens Park, with both teams announcing their line-ups ahead of the highly anticipated clash. Brendan Rodgers, accompanied by his assistant, Tony Docherty, has revealed the starting eleven for the game as Celtic aim to further solidify their position at the top of the table.
Celtic, currently leading the table, are determined to extend their lead by securing a victory against Dundee. However, the Glaswegian giants face a tough challenge, as Dundee has proven to be a formidable opponent, especially when playing at home. With Rangers closely trailing behind, Celtic cannot afford to let their guard down, knowing that any slip-up could provide their rivals with an opportunity to close the gap in the title race.
The Hoops have recently experienced a dip in form, suffering defeats against Kilmarnock and Hearts. However, they managed to bounce back with a win against Livingston and will be looking to build on that momentum as they prepare to face Rangers in their upcoming fixture.
On the other hand, Dundee has showcased their strength at home, with their only home defeats coming against Rangers and Hibernian. Their solid home record poses a significant challenge for Celtic, who will need to be at their best to come away with a positive result.
The confirmed line-ups for the match are as follows:
Dundee XI: Carson; Kerr, Beck, Shaughnessy, McGhee, Bakayoko, Cameron, McCowan, Rudden, Boateng, Donnelly. Subs: Legzdins, Tiffoney, Pineda, Ashcroft, Mulligan, Robinson, Robertson, Howley, Sylla.
Celtic XI: Hart; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor; McGregor, O’Riley, Bernardo; Palma, Kyogo, Maeda. Subs: Bain, Yang, Turnbull, Oh, Kwon, Forrest, Ralston, Welsh, M. Johnston.
