• Fixture: Celtic vs Dundee

• Date: Wednesday, 03 December 2025

• Kick-off: 19:45 GMT

• Venue: Celtic Park

Celtic heads into this encounter on a promising run of form, having won four out of their last five games in the Scottish top-flight. Their recent wins, including winning 2-1 away at Hibernian, suggest they could dominate this fixture. With a predicted lineup featuring key midfielders like McGregor and Hatate, Celtic are likely to control the tempo and create numerous scoring opportunities.

Dundee, on the other hand, have had a more inconsistent run, with only one win in their last five matches. Their recent loss to Hibernian and a heavy defeat to Rangers indicate they might struggle against a well-drilled Celtic side. However, Dundee's predicted 4-5-1 formation could provide a solid defensive structure, potentially allowing them to frustrate Celtic and perhaps snatch a goal on the counter.

Celtic have been in excellent form recently, winning four of their last five SPL matches. Their most recent victory was a tough 2-1 win against Hibernian away from home, demonstrating that the Hoops can win in adversity. The run of encouraging form should give the SPL champions a significant boost in confidence and momentum heading into this encounter at Celtic Park.

• 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's recent form has been less impressive, having won just once in their last five SPL games. However, last time out, the visitors recorded a 3-1 victory over St. Mirren at home, which ended their recent losing streak in the Scottish top flight. However, their away form has been particularly poor, with heavy defeats to Hibernian and Hearts, suggesting they might struggle against a strong Celtic side.

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 shows a mixed bag of results. Celtic have had some significant victories, including a 6-0 win last season, but Dundee have also secured a 2-0 win against Celtic. The most recent encounter ended in a 3-3 draw, suggesting that while Celtic often dominate, Dundee can pose a threat and occasionally come out on top.
