Dundee vs Celtic

, KO: 20:00 Jan 14, 2025, Dens Park
Celtic

Celtic are on their travels again when they face an entertaining Dundee side on Tuesday on Tayside.

The Hoops left it late to win at Ross County in their last game, but eventually surged ahead and clear with three goals in the last nine minutes – two of which were in injury time.

The title race has long stopped being a serious challenge and Celtic are in the envious stage of being able to really go into these games now with no pressure.

However, they should get a good test from a Dundee side buoyed by taking a point from Rangers at Dens Park in their last game.

Although they allowed Rangers to have most of the ball, they were a constant threat on the counter-attack and could easily have snatched the points.

You can almost guarantee entertainment when Dundee play at home – they are the third top scorers at home and the joint second top in conceding goals at Dens Park too.

There have been 42 goals fly in during the 11 games they have played at home and you would expect more of the same when the champions come calling this week.

How the bookies view it: Dundee written off

You can get 11/1 on a shock home win with Boylesports, with Celtic predictably being strong favourites at 2/11. The draw is 11/2.

Recent head to heads: Ten in a woe for Dundee?

Celtic eased to a bloodless 2-0 win back in October at Parkhead and are going for their tenth win in a row at Dens Park.

Dundee incredibly haven't tasted success against Celtic at home since September 1988 when future Hoops star Tommy Coyne scored the winner against Celtic keeper Alan Rough!

Players to watch: Kyogo's good for goals

Kyogo Furuhashi probably hasn't been at his best this season, but scored two important goals in the Highlands on Saturday to send Celtic on their way. The Japanese international is odds-on at 8/11 to score on Tuesday with Paddy Power.

Simon Murray always carries Dundee's main goal threat and is a pest to defences. He is 7/2 to net with Paddy Power.

Predicted line-ups

Dundee have plenty of injury worries with seven players expected to be out – Fin Robertson, Billy Koumetio, Antonio Portales, Jordan McGhee, Joe Shaughnessy, Ziyad Larkeche and Scott Fraser.

Celtic have doubts over wingers Nicolas Kiuhn and James Forrest.

Dundee: Carson, Ingram, Robertson, Astley, Garza, Donnelly, Sylla, Mulligan, Tiffoney, Adewumi, Murray.

Celtic: Celtic: Schmeichel, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Taylor, McGregor, Engels, Hatate, Yang, Idah, Kyogo.

Anything else catch the eye?

Dundee will approach this game in the same way as they did against Rangers – they will be happy to surrender possession but hope to break to devastating effect on the counter.

Unfortunately for them, Celtic are a different animal from Rangers on their travels and it's hard to see an injury-depleted Dundee side cope with the runaway league leaders.

As stated, goals are a gimme at Dens Park and so the obvious call here is an away win and over 3.5 goals at 13/10 with Boylesports.

Celtic's last four away games have seen a minimum of 12 corners and you would expect more of the same here too with Dundee able to contribute too. Go for over 11.5 corners at 5/4 with UniBet.
