Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Celtic will be aiming to melt Rangers advantage in the standings when they take on Dundee at Dens Park on Matchday 13. The Hoops failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with Livingston, but they are still seen as hot favourites to beat Dundee on the road. All Dembele, Julien, Rogic, and Taylor remain in the recovery room, while Japan international Furuhashi is pushing for a start.
The Dark Blues, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a heavy 5-0 loss to Ross County, with the team beating St. Mirren thanks to Max Anderson’s goal. Dundee are high on spirits ahead of the visit of Celtic, but seeing that they were beaten by the Hoops in each of the previous four meetings between the two teams, away win should be considered. Both Shaun Byrne and Alex Jakubiak are sidelined with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Christopher Jullien):
Christopher Jullien is a professional footballer who plays for Toulouse as a defender. The 195-cm-tall centre-back played for Auxere youth team from 2005 to 2011 and he made his first-team debut for the club on August 24, 2012 in a 2-1 win over Stade Lavallois.
Christopher Jullien scored his first ever goal a week later in a Coupe de la Ligue clash against Dijon. The French defender made 25 appearances in the league for Auxerre and in 2013 he moved to Germany, signing a professional contract with Freiburg. Jullien made only one appearance for the first team, but it has to be noted that he scored five goals in 49 games for the second team. After ending his loan spell with Dijon in the summer of 2016, he signed a four-year deal with Ligue 1 side Toulouse.
Christopher Jullien scored four goals, while providing one assist for his teammates in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign. The French footballer was born on March 22, 1993 in Lagny-sur-Marne and his preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Celtic):
The Celtic Football Club boasts a proud over 100-year long history which has made The Bhoys a global brand thanks to their unprecedented social awareness that dates to the very beginnings of this Scottish club. Celtic was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow by raising money to help their fellow citizens.
The charity legacy continues to this day with Celtic still preserving their charitable traditions through the Celtic FC Foundation. The Celts play their home matches at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 people. One of the two most successful football clubs in Scotland with 47 Scottish League Championship titles to their name, Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, with the clubs known as the Old Firm.
European Cup winners from season 1966-67 and runners-up two years later, Celtic have been regular in European competitions since their first appearance in 1962-63. Their other most standout results have been runners-up in the EUFA Cup in 2003 and Intercontinental Cup in 1967.
