Scottish Premiership league leaders Celtic make the trip to Dundee on Boxing Day looking to build on their dominant victory over Livingston at the weekend.
After a two-game losing skid in the Scottish Premiership, the Bhoys returned to winning ways on Saturday, with Kyogo Furuhashi and Liam Scales bagging a quickfire double early at the start of the second half to help seal a 2-0 win on home turf.
However, with fellow Glasgow rivals Rangers within touching distance, Brendan Rodgers' men can ill-afford a slip-up on Boxing Day, especially with a potentially title-deciding Old Firm derby on the horizon this weekend.
As for Dundee, their clash with Aberdeen was called off less than an hour before kick-off due to a waterlogged pitch and concerns over player safety. Prior to that, they put on a resilient display to see out 1-0 victory over Ross County last midweek, which propelled them to seventh place with 21 points from 16 games and just six points off fourth-placed Kilmarnock, with as many as three games in hand.

Team news & squads
Dundee team news
Dundee should head into this match the fresher of the two sides considering they did not play over the weekend, and they will also be bolstered by the fact that Liverpool loanee defender Owen Beck played the full game against Ross County after shaking off a groin concern, and will be available again here.
Diego Pineda remains an injury concern for the Dark Blues though, and he is set to be on the sidelines once more this Tuesday, while his countryman Antonio Portales sustained a hamstring injury in their 3-1 loss to Rangers on December 9, joining Lee Ashcroft and Marcel Lewis on the treatment table.
Following a resolute performance at the back against Ross County and plenty of rest to recharge their batteries, it is unlikely that head coach Tony Docherty will make any changes here.
Dundee possible XI: Carson; Donnelly, Lamie, Shaughnessy; McGhee, Cameron, McGowan, Boateng, Beck; Bakayoko, Robinson
