Celtic v Dundee betting tips: Dark Blues hope to buck history

Dundee boss James McPake has a few experienced heads in the squad, with both Charlie Adam (below) and Jason Cummings playing in Old Firm games at Celtic Park, yet they are very much the underdogs in Celtic v Dundee betting tips.

For those looking to get them onside, the Dark Blues are 19/5 to win either half and 9/1 to keep a clean sheet.

Celtic v Dundee head-to-head

Since the two clubs first met in 1893, the Dark Blues have played away to the Hoops 134 times, winning 13, drawing 27 and losing 94.

Dundee last beat Celtic on the road in May 2001 and since then have picked up just two points from a possible 48 on the road.

They have suffered 15 defeats in the last 17 matches and the goals difference is a staggering 48-8 in favour of the Hoops.

It is 80/1 that Dundee win 2-0 on Sunday and 29/10 that they either win or draw in the Double Chance market.

Celtic v Dundee team news

Celtic are likely to recall Stephen Welsh, who was a little unlucky not to have replaced Nir Britton in the side that won at FK Jablonec.

Odsonne Edouard was also on the bench in midweek and could start against Dundee, when he is 4/5 to score at any time.

Former England goalkeeper Joe Hart, who was thrown in immediately against the Czech side, is likely to make his home debut.

Dundee will miss academy graduate Max Anderson, who is suspended after he was dismissed against St Mirren, although fellow youngster Fin Robertson is likely to keep his place. Striker Danny Mullen is ruled out through injury.

Celtic are 5/6 to score in both halves and are 19/20 to win to nil in Celtic v Dundee betting tips.

Celtic v Dundee key battles

Jason Cummings is a 7/2 chance to score at any time for Dundee. He replaced injured Mullens after 17 minutes against St Mirren and caused plenty of problems, netting the second leveller.

Celtic’s new centre-half Carl Starfelt has not been particularly impressive thus far and looks vulnerable so that clash will be worth watching.
