CELTIC kick off their home campaign today against Dundee in front of the biggest crowd yet since fans have been allowed to return in small numbers.
24,500 Celtic fans will be in the stadium today as Ange Postecoglou hopes to get his SPFL account up and running after a disappointing defeat to Hearts on the opening day.
Joe Hart and James McCarthy have both signed on since that defeat and Joe will likely be the man in goals for Celtic this afternoon.
The provisional squad for today has been confirmed [RecordSport] and Joe is there, however, McCarthy is not.
It makes sense because the player hasn’t had a pre-season training regime and has been keeping fit on his own in the off season.
It could be a number of weeks before we see James in action. Celtic will be assessing his fitness as they go.
The rest of the provisional squad is what you would expect. New bhoys Starfelt, Abada and Furuhashi all in and ready to play. Still no Leigh Griffiths who is apparently injured.
- Hart
- Bain
- Barkas
- Ralston
- Starfelt
- Bitton
- Welsh
- Urhogide
- Murray
- Montgomery
- Taylor
- Soro
- McGregor
- Robertson
- Christie
- Turnbull
- Rogic
- Abada
- Forrest
- Furuhashi
- Ajeti
- Edouard
With our title rivals slipping up at Tannadice on Sunday, it’s imperative Celtic go all out for the win against Dundee. The Hoops could give their season a real shot in the arm by grabbing the three points.
We can’t take anything for granted at the moment, as Ange tries to get his ideas across to the team, we’re going to see some up and down performances.
