Celtic fans finally have some positivity to work with following the Bhoys’ dramatic 3-1 victory over Motherwell last Sunday.
Republic of Ireland international Adam Idah is the man of the hour following his match-winning exploits, while the likes of Hyunjun Yang and Tomoki Iwata deserve great credit for their role in the comeback at Fir Park
Brendan Rodgers hailed the psychological impact of his side’s late heroics, stating post-match: “it was important for us to get the win today psychologically. There’s a story being written about this club, but we will write our own story.”
Nevertheless, there is no time to waste at Lennoxtown, with the challenge of Dundee making the trip through to Glasgow on Wednesday unlikely to be straightforward.
The Bhoys sit two points behind Rangers with 11 matches left to navigate this term and will be keen to keep the pressure on their rivals, who face Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on the same night.
Everything can change in an instant, signifying that Celtic need to stay on their guard by ensuring they guarantee three points on home soil.
Tickets are still available on the official club website. At the same time, there is a pay-per-view option priced at £12.99 for those who cannot attend the match.
Celtic suffer yet another injury blow this season
Frustratingly, Celtic have suffered another injury blow, which has become a common theme of Rodgers’ second stint in charge at Parkhead.
According to The Daily Record, Polish defender Maik Nawrocki was unable to feature in training on Monday due to a leg issue, which the Bhoys are now looking to find out the full extent of amid the 23-year-old receiving intensive treatment.
Nawrocki is now out for the Dundee clash on Wednesday, which will leave Rodgers needing to assess his other defensive options ahead of facing Tony Docherty’s Dark Blues.

Maik Nawrocki’s frustrating Celtic career continues
Undoubtedly, big things were expected of Nawrocki at Parkhead following his £4.3 million move from Legia Warsaw last summer.
Nevertheless, his Parkhead career has become a source of frustration despite his obvious talent, taking into account the fact he has made just ten appearances in green and white so far [Transfermarkt].
Hopefully, Nawrocki can recover and fulfil his promise, though it does seem like he really can’t catch a break at the moment.
