Celtic will aim to return to the top of the Scottish Premiership when they welcome Dundee to Parkhead for a midweek clash this Wednesday (kick-off: 7.45pm).
Placed in interim charge of Celtic last month, head coach Martin O’Neill has won all four of his league games in charge to close the gap on league leaders Hearts to just one point. However, with reports that Columbus Crew boss Wilfried Nancy is the board’s choice as their next manager, the visit of Dundee could be the 73-year-old’s final game in charge.
Visitors Dundee will arrive in Glasgow with a spring in their step after an impressive 3-1 victory over St Mirren on Saturday, with the vital victory helping Steven Pressley’s side move two points clear of the drop zone. Having already beaten Celtic once this season, the Dens Park outfit will be hoping to inflict a first home league defeat of the season on the reigning champions.
