Dark arts specialist Alistair Johnston continues at right back with the American Bhoys of Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty at centre back and Greg Taylor comes back into the starting eleven after sitting out the win up in Dingwall. Tonight is actually Greg’s 200th appearance for the club, not last midweek’s win over Dundee United. Congratulations to him and as Brendan said Taylor is a proper Celt.

In midfield, Callum McGregor starts with Paulo Bernardo coming back into the team and Luke McCowan keeping his place as he returns to Dens Park for the first time since his deadline day move to the Champions in the summer.

In attack, Adam Idah starts through the middle with Yang on the left and Kyogo out towards the right, as per the formation that worked well in the frozen north at the weekend. Our photographer Geo was telling us last night that he’s been sitting on the touchline with his camera at games for over a decade and Saturday was easily the coldest he’s ever been!

Here’s the Dundee team news…

To take on Celtic 🫡 #Dundee1893
– Tuesday, 14 January 2025

Dundee have gone 44 games without a win against Celtic, with just six draws during that time and 38 defeats, since a 2-0 dead rubber win at Celtic Park back in May 2001. Celtic have also won all of their last eleven meetings with the Dens park side.

Celtic are unbeaten in our last 35 visits to Dens Park in all competitions since Billy McNeill’s Champions lost 1-0 in September 1988.

Dundee have kept the fewest clean sheets of any side in the Scottish Premiership this season (one) and have conceded in each of their last 14 games since a 1-0 win over Motherwell back on October.
