Dundee vs Celtic LIVE as the action gets under way at Dens Park

Celtic travel north praying their title bid doesn’t fall further by the wayside on Tayside.

Of course Glasgow rivals Rangers don’t feature in this particular discourse because in a refreshing move it’s Hearts who represent the greatest threat to the Hoops’ hopes of landing five in a row.

Derek McInnes’ side are five points ahead of Celtic right now after the Tynecastle head coach returned to old stomping ground Kilmarnock yesterday and oversaw an emphatic 3-0 win.

Brendan Rodgers could do with something convincing himself to keep pace with Premiership leaders Hearts.

As for Dundee, well they’re already flirting with a danger of a different kind. Steven Pressley’s team are second bottom of the table and will need to right a wrong of 37 years if they are to finally beat Celtic at Dens Park again.

Tommy Coyne was the matchwinner for the Dark Blues back in 1988 but will Pressley find a hero in 2025?

Dundee: McCracken, Wright, Astley, C Robertson, Graham, Samuels; Congreve, Digby, Hamilton, Westley; Murray Subs: O'Hara, Ingram, Donnelly, Acquah, F. Robertson, Hay, Yogane, Dhanda, Jones.

Celtic: Schmeichel, Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Tierney, McGregor, Hatate, Nygren, Yang, Tounekti, Iheanacho Subs: Sinisalo, Balikwisha, McCowan, Kenny, Engels, Saracchi, Murray, Forrest, Donovan

History isn't on Dundee's side today.

Incredibly, it's been 37 YEARS since the Dees last defeated Celtic at Dens Park.

And to make matters worse, the Dark Blues are winless in their last 46 games across all competitions against the Hoops.

They haven't got the better of Celts since May 2001 when
