Celtic welcome Dundee FC to Celtic Park for a Scottish Premiership matchday five fixture on Saturday (September 16).
The hosts are coming off a morale-boosting 1-0 win at arch-rivals Rangers in the Old Firm derby before the international break. Kyogo Furuhashi's goal in first half injury time proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Dundee FC, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw at St. Johnstone. They took a two-goal lead through Amadou Bakayoko and Rickie Lamie, but Maksym Kucheriavyi stepped off the bench with a late brace to ensure parity.
The stalemate left the Dark Blues in sixth spot in the points table, having garnered five points from four games. Celtic, meanwhile, are joint-top of the standings, with 10 points after four outings.
