Former Celtic defender Steven Pressley has admitted that he believes his Dundee side can surprise Celtic when the teams meet at Dens Park at the weekend. The 51-year-old took over from Tony Docherty in the summer and has had a mixed start on his return to management but secured a draw at Ibrox.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Pressley admitted that he will use the result against Rangers to spur his players on to make things difficult for Celtic.
🗣️ "Dundee haven't won at Dens against Celtic in 37 years. I think that brings some context to the challenge."

Celtic signed Pressley from Hearts in 2007, where he would spend 18 months and win two leagues and a Scottish Cup. Pressley certainly enjoyed a goal against his former side Hearts while at Celtic so he will have no qualms trying to get one over Brendan Rodgers’ side.
