Rangers’ draw at Easter Road against Hibernian allowed Celtic to momentarily take second place after a strong 2-0 win over Falkirk. However, they have since fallen to third, following Rangers’ impressive 5-1 victory against Kilmarnock, while their own match against Aberdeen was postponed on Wednesday. They still have a game in hand in the Premiership, but Martin O’Neill needs to prepare his team for this weekend’s Scottish Cup match against Dundee at Parkhead.
Dundee managed a narrow win over Kilmarnock in the last round, setting up a challenging tie against Celtic. The Hoops faced disappointment last season in the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen, so caution is essential this Sunday evening, especially since they previously lost to the struggling Dark Blues during Brendan Rodgers’ final days in charge.
Predicted 4-3-3 Celtic Lineup To Face Dundee
Defence
Kasper Schmeichel performed well in goal, keeping a clean sheet against Falkirk for the first time since their earlier match-up. However, Viljami Sinisalo has consistently played in cup games, and he is likely to start over the experienced Schmeichel at Celtic Park.
