McCann grew up a Celtic supporter but drew the ire of the Parkhead faithful when he agreed to a 1998 move to Rangers.

The feeling of resentment among the Celtic support only increased when McCann became a regular pundit for Sky Sports, prior to him taking over at Dundee towards the end of last season.

Dundee host holders Celtic in the quarter-final of the Betfred Cup on Wednesday evening.

Speaking to the Daily Record, McCann said: “I expect a nice cheery, warm welcome. It’s never changed since I’ve been playing football. I get the same adulation from the Celtic fans.

“There’s nothing they can say to me that I haven’t heard before. I’ve heard some disgusting, despicable things but nothing they say will bother me.”
