Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Celtic will be looking to build on a 3-1 win over Motherwell when they take on Dundee FC in a postponed Premiership game. The Hoops are leading the chase for the Premier League trophy and, no doubt, they want to get their job done as soon as possible. Fit-again forward Jota should once again start from the bench despite scoring as a substitute at Fir Park, while James Forrest remains in the recovery room.
The Dark Blues, on the other hand, are tough to beat at home, but given their six-game losing run at Celtic Park, we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp. In their last meeting in Glasgow, Celtic defeated Dundee FC 2-0. Both Finlay Robertson and Sebastian Palmer-Houlden are pushing for a start after the duo came off the bench in Dundee’s 6-0 loss to Hearts at the weekend.
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.
