Celtic are set to play Dundee at Celtic Park on Sunday for their next game in the Scottish Premiership.

Celtic come into this game on the back of a 3-2 win over Aberdeen in their most recent Scottish Premiership game. A brace from Portuguese winger Jota Filipe and a goal from English midfielder Matt O'Riley sealed the deal for Ange Postecoglou's Celtic. Goals from experienced American attacker Christian Ramirez and Scotland international Lewis Ferguson proved to be a mere consolation for Aberdeen.

Dundee, on the other hand, beat Robbie Neilson's Hearts 2-1 in the league. An own goal from centre-back Toby Sibbick and a goal from striker Danny Mullen secured the win for Dundee. Young striker Ellis Simms scored the goal for Hearts.

Celtic vs Dundee Prediction

Celtic are top of the league table, one point ahead of 2nd-placed Rangers. Manager Ange Postecoglou has received deserved praise for the work he has done at Celtic, with smart transfers and improved performances resulting in better results compared to last season.

Dundee, on the other hand, are 11th in the league, and have won only one of their last five league games. Forward Paul McMullan has done well this season, but their current form does not inspire confidence.

Celtic will be the favourites.

Prediction: Celtic 2-0 Dundee
