Match Preview

The sixth and final Scottish Premiership fixture of the 2026/27 opening weekend sees reigning champions Celtic host Dundee at Parkhead on Monday night.

Despite a lower points tally than usual, Celtic retained the Scottish Premiership in the 2025/26 season and won the Scottish Cup. The Hoops could've won a domestic treble, had they not lost the League Cup final to St Mirren. Two trophies wasn't enough for some fans, frustrated that the club haven't spent as much money as they'd have liked despite the large transfer fees on their two summer signings to date.

Dundee are hoping to build on a solid 2025/26 Scottish Premiership season, where they finished eighth and managed to avoid being suckered into a basement battle. Having navigated their way through their League Cup with three wins from four against Airdrie, Annan Athletic, Ross County and Clyde, the Dee will hope to make a dent in both cup competitions and ultimately preserving their top tier status.

Dundee's last visit to Parkhead saw them eliminated from the Scottish Cup in heartbreaking fashion, with the Hoops hoping for a more comfortable evening in front of their own fans.
