Celtic play host to Dundee on Wednesday night in the Scottish Premiership.
Celtic are strong favourites ahead of Wednesday night’s Scottish Premiership clash against Dundee on Parkhead and Brendan Rodgers could seize the opportunity to make a few changes to his side.
The Hoops come into the game after putting their Europa League defeat to Zenit St. Petersburg behind them last Thursday to beat Aberdeen on Sunday 2-0 at Pittodrie, in what was an excellent response from Rodgers’ men.
It sees the Scottish champions re-establish their nine-point lead at the top of the table, after Rangers had closed the gap to six following their comfortable 2-0 win over Craig Levein’s Hearts on Saturday.
Compper (R).
Defender Marvin Compper could be in line to make his first Celtic appearance after suffering a muscle problem at the start of January immediately after putting pen to paper on a move from RB Leipzig.
Jozo Simunovic’s form of late has been poor and Tuesday night’s clash will be perfect for Compper, with Dundee out of form and struggling to avoid relegation. He should partner Kristoffer Ajer at the back.
Manchester City loanee Paddy Roberts is expected to return to the bench, while 28-year-old Cristian Gamboa is likely to come in for the suspended Mikael Lustig after he was sent off against Aberdeen.
Charly Musonda and Callum McGregor are also likely to come in. Four changes in total then, with Gamboa, Compper, Musonda and McGregor replacing Lustig, Simunovic, Scott Sinclair and Tom Rogic.
