Fixture: Celtic vs Dundee
Competition: Scottish Premiership
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Celtic have named their side and substitutes for this afternoon's Scottish Premiership game against Dundee at Parkhead.

The Bhoys' rivals Rangers cut the gap at the top of the Premiership table to eight points last night by winning at Hamilton, but victory for Brendan Rodgers' men can put Celtic eleven points in front with two games in hand.




Celtic are unbeaten domestically so far this season and Rodgers will want to avoid any slip-ups against the visitors, who sit third from bottom in the Premiership standings. To get the job done, the Northern Irishman selects Leigh Griffiths and Ryan Christie to provide a goal threat, while Gary Mackay-Steven and Stuart Armstrong also play today. Tom Rogic and Nir Bitton are in midfield, with Jozo Simunovic and Erik Sviatchenko continuing their central defensive pairing.

From the bench, the Celtic manager has Moussa Dembele on the bench if he needs to bring on another striker, while Scott Sinclair is also amongst the substitutes.
