Tony Docherty and Brendan Rodgers have named their starting lineups for Tuesday’s Premiership clash at Dens Park.

Dundee host Celtic in Tayside in one of two midweek encounters in the top-flight this week.

A victory for the home side will see them leapfrog St Mirren into seventh, while they could potentially jump into the top-six if they win by two clear goals.

Meanwhile league leaders Celtic are aiming to strengthen their grip on the Premiership trophy even further and can move 18 points clear at the top if they take all three-points back to Glasgow.

Second placed Rangers take on fourth placed Aberdeen at Ibrox on Wednesday night.

Dundee drew with Philippe Clement’s side last week in their most recent Premiership game and have lost just once in their last four.

Docherty has started with Carson in goals behind Astley, C. Robertson, Donnelly, Ingram, Mulligan, F. Robertson, Sylla, Garza-Cantu, Adewumi, and Murray.

Celtic have won five of their last six league games and are hoping to make it four victories in a row since their defeat to Rangers at the start of the month.

Rodgers has Schmeichel in goals and a back four of Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty and Taylor.

Captain Callum McGregor anchors a three-man midfield beside Bernardo and McCowan with Yang and Kyogo either side of Idah up-front.

Nicolas Kuhn returns from injury to take a place on the bench with Luis Palma also back in the squad, but Daizen Maeda is still out.
