Celtic’s trip to Dundee could provide the backdrop for an entertaining end to the game based on how both teams have finished matches this season.

Late goals are the theme for these two sides, but what will the score be?
Celtic and Dundee both score late on
In a season of highs and lows, things are never dull when Celtic are playing.

The stats show that they are even more effective than the Bhoys in the final stages of the game, scoring 23 per cent of their league goals in the final 10 minutes of games.
Celtic’s H2H record vs Dundee
Celtic have dominated this fixture in recent years, winning 27 of the last 33 meetings between the two sides. Dundee have managed just one victory in that run, with five matches ending in draws.
Crucially, however, that win did come this season during the start of the season as Brendan Rodgers‘ side came unstuck in a 2-0 loss.
What position would Celtic be in NOW if Brendan Rodgers was still in charge?
Things could've been very different…
The city of discovery hasn’t been a kind place to visit this season, though, with Celtic losing all three games at Tannadice and Dens Park.
They’ve never lost all four games in Dundee in a single campaign and avoiding that could be the difference between being crowned champions or not in May.
