Fixture: Dundee vs Celtic
Competition: Scottish Premiership
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)

Celtic have officially announced their starting eleven and substitutes to lock horns with Dundee at Dens Park tonight in a Scottish Premiership fixture. 

Bhoys manager Ronny Deila wants his side to win this evening to extend the lead over Aberdeen at the top of the Premiership table to seven points. The Norwegian boss hands another start to winger Patrick Roberts, who scored a brace at the weekend. Leigh Griffiths starts up front, while Gary Mackay-Steven and Stefan Johansen will look to hand him support. Scott Brown and Nir Bitton will want to control possession.




At the back, the central defensive pairing is Erik Sviatchenko and Dedryck Boyata. On the bench, Deila can turn to Colin Kazim-Richards if needed, while James Forrest and Kris Commons are also options.

Celtic head into the game on the back of a comfortable 3-1 home win over Hearts at Paradise at the weekend. Tonight's fixture is their game in hand over Aberdeen and victory would put the Bhoys in a commanding position to retain the title.
