Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
After surviving Young Boys in the Champions League round 7, Celtic will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Dundee FC on Matchday 24. The Hoops are leading the chase for the Premiership trophy, but boss Brendan Rodgers must warn his men against complacency. Both Reo Hatate and Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Dark Blues, on the other hand, aim to climb to the Championship group berth. Dundee FC are tough to beat at home, making life difficult for both Rangers and Celtic, but given their difficulties on the road, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. To make things even worse for the away team, forward Simon Murray is banned for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
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.
