• Fixture: Celtic vs Dundee

• Date: Wednesday, 03 December 2025

• Kick-off: 19:45 GMT

• Venue: Celtic Park

Celtic are coming into this match with a strong run of form, having won four out of their last five games. Their recent victories, including a solid 2-1 win away at Hibernian, suggest they have the momentum and confidence to dominate this fixture. With a predicted 4-3-3 formation, Celtic's attacking trio of Yang, McCowan, and Maeda could pose significant threats to Dundee's defence.

Dundee, on the other hand, have had a mixed bag of results, with only one win in their last five games. Their recent 3-1 home victory over St. Mirren shows they can be competitive, but their away form has been less convincing. Dundee's 4-5-1 setup might help them stay compact and counter-attack, but they'll need to be at their best to challenge a confident Celtic side.

Match Prediction: Celtic 3-1 Dundee

Celtic have been in fine form recently, securing four wins in their last five matches. Their most recent victory was a hard-fought 2-1 win against Hibernian away from home, which demonstrates their ability to grind out results on the road. This run of form should give them plenty of confidence heading into this match against Dundee.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Win: 2-1 vs Hibernian (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs St. Mirren (A)
• Win: 4-0 vs Kilmarnock (H)
• Win: 4-0 vs Falkirk (H)
• Loss: 1-3 vs Hearts (A)

Dundee have had a challenging run of late, managing just one win in their last five games. Their most recent result was a 3-1 victory at home against St. Mirren, which shows they can be dangerous on their day. However, their away form has been less impressive, with losses in their last three away games, which might make this match against Celtic a tough ask.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Win: 3-1 vs St. Mirren (H)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Hibernian (A)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Rangers (H)
• Loss: 0-4 vs Hearts (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Falkirk (A)

The head-to-head record between Celtic and Dundee has been mixed recently. Celtic have had some convincing victories, including a 6-0 home win and a 2-1 away win. However, Dundee have also secured a 2-0 home victory and a 3-3 draw, showing they can be competitive against Celtic. This suggests that while Celtic might be favourites, Dundee are capable of causing an upset.

• Predicted lineup: Schmeichel (GK), Donovan (DF), Scales (DF), Trusty (DF), Saracchi (DF), Engels (MF), Hatate (MF), McGregor (MF), McCowan (AT), Maeda (AT), Yang (AT)

Celtic are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Schmeichel in goal and a back four of Scales, Trusty, Saracchi, and Donovan. This setup should allow them to control the midfield with Engels, Hatate, and McGregor, while the attacking trio of Yang, McCowan, and Maeda will look to exploit any gaps in Dundee's defence.

• Predicted lineup: McCracken (GK), Astley (DF), Graham (DF), Robertson (DF), Wright (DF), Congreve (MF), Westley (MF), Dhanda (MF), Hamilton (MF), Yogane (MF), Murray (AT)

Dundee are likely to deploy a 4-5-1 formation, with McCracken between the sticks and a defensive line of Robertson, Astley, Wright, and Graham. This formation should help them maintain a compact shape and rely on the midfield quintet of Yogane, Westley, Congreve, Dhanda, and Hamilton to control the game's tempo, with Murray leading the line-up.

• McCowan vs Graham: McCowan's pace and dribbling skills will test Graham's defensive capabilities.

• McGregor vs Dhanda: McGregor's experience and passing range will be crucial against Dhanda's technical ability.

• Yang (Celtic): Yang's creativity and goal-scoring threat will be vital for Celtic's attacking play.

• Westley (Dundee): Westley's ability to control the midfield and distribute the ball will be key for Dundee's strategy.
