Defence, Midfield and Attack

Josip Juranovic

Juranovic has missed a few games due to illness lately but started against Bodo/Glimt. And expect the Croatian international to retain his place in the starting XI against Dundee FC as well.

Cameron Carter-Vickers

Carter-Vickers has been Celtic’s most consistent defender this season and they will be looking towards the Tottenham Hotspur loanee to produce another rock solid display in the heart of defence.

Carl Starfelt

Starfelt is expected to be the one to start alongside Carter-Vickers against Dundee FC, even though Christopher Jullien and Stephen Welsh are both available at the moment.

Liam Scales

Greg Taylor did not have a good game against Bodo/Glimt and it might be time to let him sit this one out and give Scales a run out in the park.

Callum McGregor

Similar to Joe Hart, Celtic will need McGregor’s leadership to bounce back from the difficult result in midweek.

Reo Hatate

It was a huge surprise that Hatate was not in the line up against Bodo/Glimt, although it must be said that he has played quite a bit of football since arriving at Celtic.

It goes without saying though that Celtic missed his presence in the middle of the park against the Norwegian champions and expect him to be starting against Dundee FC at the weekend.

Matt O’Riley

O’Riley did not cover himself in glory against Bodo/Glimt but a lot of that is down to him starting alongside Tom Rogic in an unfamiliar role.

Liel Abada

Abada has put in some big performances in recent weeks and months and hopefully he will have another one here.

Giorgos Giakoumakis

Giakoumakis did not start against Bodo/Glimt which appears to have been another mistake. Expect him to lead the Celtic line here.

Jota

Jota should retain his position on the left-wing although Daizen Maeda could be a potential option as well.
