Celtic begin their title defence with a home game against Dundee FC. Given the huge gap in quality between the two teams, we predict a 3-0 home win. The reigning champions head into the clash after an entertaining 2-2 draw with AC Milan in their final pre-season friendly, a result that highlighted both their attacking quality and defensive vulnerabilities. Summer signings Kasper Hogh and Camilo Duran are expected to make their Premiership debuts, adding further excitement ahead of the new campaign. Celtic have been in strong form overall, winning six of their last 10 matches while averaging 2.2 goals per game. Their meetings have also been entertaining lately, with both teams scoring in each of their previous 10 outings.
Dundee FC, meanwhile, travel to Glasgow in high spirits after a commanding 4-0 League Cup victory over Clyde. Simon Murray will once again be the visitors' main attacking threat after finishing as the club's top scorer, and he will be eager to test the Celtic defence. Dundee have also produced some impressive attacking displays recently, averaging 2.1 goals per game across their last 10 matches. However, history is firmly against them, with Celtic winning 28 of the previous 34 meetings between the two sides and losing just once during that run.
Celtic boast superior quality and have dominated this fixture, winning 28 of the last 34 meetings. Therefore, Home Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Celtic to Win to Nil and Over 2.5 goals (both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches recently, with Celtic averaging 3.7 total goals and Dundee 3.6 over their last 10 games).
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Monday 3 August 2026 at 19:30.
