Celtic vs Dundee prediction: Kyogo Furuhashi tipped for a brace at packed Celtic Park

Celtic will be looking to create a winning momentum after winning in a goalfest midweek as they welcome Dundee to Celtic Park.

The Hoops are the favourites at 1/5 with Grosvenor Sport while Dundee are 21/2 and a draw is 21/4.

The home side finally picked up their first win of the season under new manage Ange Postecoglu after failing to win in both their Champions League qualifying matches against Midtjylland and losing the first game of the season away to Hearts.

Safe to say, it has been an abysmal 12 months overall for Celtic who were optimistic of winning 10 consecutive league titles before their arch-rivals unbeaten season.

Now they return to league action with a win under their belt after winning 4-2 at Jablonec in the Europa League qualifier.

They will be looking for more of the same attacking intent with more consistency in defence too. Hopefully, Joe Hart may be the missing piece of the puzzle they have been looking for.

Tips

  • Kyogo Furuhashi to score at least two goals - 4/1
  • Celtic to win and both teams to score - 41/20
