The Scottish Premiership clash sees Celtic under pressure, having drawn twice against Dundee United and once against Dundee in this season’s visits. Manager Brendan Rodgers’ successor, Wilfried Nancy, faces the task of turning a third‑place position into a title‑contending campaign.
A win would secure a favorable points haul while a loss would keep Celtic in third. With two home fixtures against title rivals remaining, Celtic’s performance at Dens Park could be decisive for the championship race.
