Celtic host Dundee at Parkhead this evening (Wednesday) in the Scottish Premiership, as Brendan Rodgers makes six changes to the side that overcame Motherwell 3-0 last weekend.
The Scottish champions will be keen to extend their unbeaten start to the 2024/25 campaign, having dropped points to Aberdeen only, in an entertaining 2-2 draw at Celtic Park earlier this month.
With 25 points, it's goal difference that separates the Hoops and second-place Aberdeen at the top of the table, the latter of who welcome third-place Rangers to Pittodrie this evening.
Dundee, on the other hand, enter tonight's match having won just one game in their last five five – a 1-0 win over Motherwell at Fir Park on October 19.
Kasper Schmeichel starts between the sticks for Celtic, with Greg Taylor, Auston Trusty, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Anthony Ralston in front.
Ahead of them is Luke McCowan, Arne Engels and Paulo Bernardo; with Yang, Luis Palma and Kyogo Furuhashi up top.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
