Dundee vs Celtic: Starting line-ups for Premiership clash at Dens Park

Starting teams named for Dundee vs Celtic Premiership clash at Dens Park.

Tony Docherty and Brendan Rodgers have named their starting line-ups for Sunday’s Premiership clash at Dens Park.

Dundee host Celtic in the second of the day’s double header in the title-race and fight for Europe.

The champions go into the game at the top of the league on goal-difference after Rangers beat St Mirren in the earlier game, while the hosts are hoping to cut the gap to fifth placed St Mirren.

Celtic can retain their three-point lead going into the last four games if they can get a victory in Tayside while Dundee can leapfrog the Saints into a European spot if they get the win.

Rodgers was full of praise for James Forrest in his pre-match press-conference and he has handed the winger a start in place of Yang.

Captain Callum McGregor is also handed his first league start since the 7-1 victory over Dundee at Celtic Park.

Docherty will be watching the game from the stands as he begins a suspension.

Dundee start with McCracken in goals behind Dodgson, Lamie, Portales, Sylla, McGhee, Mulligan, Boateng, McCowan, Tiffony and Bakayoko

Celtic start with Hart in goals behind Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales and Taylor with a midfield three of McGregor, O’Riley and Hatate supporting an attacking trio of Forrest, Kuhn and Kyogo.
