Liel Abada (Thigh muscle rupture), Reo Hatate (Disrupted Calf Muscle), Maik Nawrocki (Hamstring Injury), Cameron Carter-Vickers (Hamstring Injury) and Stephen Welsh (Ankle Injury) won’t be available for Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers.

📰 Team News: Dundee

Owing to an otherwise full-strength squad, there is only the one fitness issue for the Dundee gaffer Tony Docherty to contend with. Antonio Portales (Ruptured ligaments) won’t be in action.
