Brendan Rodgers has made two changes to the Celtic side that faces Dundee from last week’s 1-1 draw with Sevco

Jozo Simunovic replaces Erik Sviatchenko in defence with Callum McGregor partnering Scott Brown in midfield in place of Nir Bitton.

Last week’s 1-1 draw with Sevco was the first falter since September but means little with the Premiership title just six points away.

Aberdeen’s 2-0 win over Hearts ruled out the possibility of a title party with the visit to Tynecastle on April 2 likely to be the title clincher.

A win for Celtic today would mean that Aberdeen would have to avoid defeat at Dundee on March 31 to keep the race alive opening up the possibility of the hoops winning the title without kicking a ball.

After today’s match there is the boredom of an international week coming up with six Celts in the Scotland squad to face Slovenia next Sunday.

CELTIC: Gordon; Lustig, Simunovic, Boyata, Tierney; Brown, McGregor; Forrest, Armstrong, Sinclair; Dembele

SUBS: Bailly, Bitton, Griffiths, Gamboa, Roberts, Sviatchenko, Eboue
