Celtic could go 18 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership this week as they prepare to visit injury-hit Dundee at Dens Park in the Scottish Premiership (kick off: 8pm).
Brendan Rodgers’ side rallied late against Ross County at the weekend to secure a 4-1 win at Dingwall thanks to a brace from Kyogo Furuhashi and injury time strikes from Arne Engels and Luke McCowan. The win ensured the Hoops went an astonishing 15 points clear at the top of the table, with the title race already looking all but over.
As for the hosts Dundee, they enter the game on the back of a much-needed weekend off, with their last result coming on Thursday in a 1-1 draw with Rangers. Tony Docherty’s side have been besieged by injury in the past month, but could welcome back a key duo on Tuesday as the Dee begin to welcome back some of their injured stars.
Celtic have been provided some positive injury news yesterday, though one player has been linked with a departure from the club this week meaning he is unlikely to be included in the Hoops squad that heads to Dens Park.
