Here’s the Celtic team news from Dens Park as Brendan Rodgers side looks for another three points to extend the lead back to 18 points ahead of theRangers playing Aberdeen tomorrow night…
Kasper Schmeichel starts in goals for Celtic and the Great Dane will be looking for yet another clean sheet.
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!
Subs: Sinisalo, Scales, Palma, Kuhn, Valle, Kenny, Engels, Hatate and Ralston

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.
Our predicted score for tonight’s game that kicks off at 8pm – Dundee 0-3 Celtic. The match is live on Sky Sports and also on Celtic TV for subscribers based outside of Britain and Ireland.
