Celtic are aiming to keep the pressure on title rivals Hearts and Rangers when they face Dundee at Dens Park on Easter Sunday Sunday (kick-off: 4.30pm).
Martin O’Neill’s side dropped to third ahead of the international break after suffering a shock 2-0 defeat away to Dundee United. Now five points behind Hearts, and two behind rivals Rangers, a win feels non-negotiable for the defending champions this weekend.
Their hosts, Dundee, will enter the game with plenty of confidence, though, having lost just one of their last six league games. Dark Blues boss Steven Pressley will be hoping for a repeat of the performance the last time the two sides met at Dens Park, where his side ran out 2-0 winners in October.
Ahead of the game, The Scotsman has all the latest team news. That includes a fresh setback for the club in the form of a star who’s missed most of this season suffering a new delay in their bid to return.
