Ange Postecoglou has made seven changes to the Celtic side that lost to Real Mdrid without noticably weakening the team.
Moritz Jenz is the only survivor from the defence on Wednesday night while a brand new forward line features Jota starting for the first time since the 2-1 win away to St Johnstone a month ago.
With three more matches to be played before the winter break Postecoglou is going to use his squad to the maximum although Matt O’Riley and Reo Hatate have now started eight consecutive matches.
Earlier this season Celtic won 9-0 at Tannadice, Ross Jack was sacked soon afterwards with Liam Fox in charge against Celtic for the first time.
David Dickinson is today’s referee with Willie Collum, referee at Livingston last Sunday, is on VAR.
