With the international break now done and dusted all thoughts will now turn to our trip to Dundee on Sunday. Brendan Rodgers will be hoping that his players will take up where they left off against Motherwell with that late winner that sent us off into the international break happy after the 3-2 win.
Hopefully that win can see us kick on now after some poor performances. The Celtic Fans Collective met with the Celtic Board during the break before the Collective met again on Thursday night in Glasgow with other Celtic fan reps. joining the meeting via zoom to discuss the outcome of the meeting with the Celtic board and the next steps in the campaign.
The next steps will be Not Another Penny campaign asking for Celtic fans not to buy merchandise, food and drinks at Celtic Park, boycott Stadium tours, bars, restaurants and Celtic-run events. My only fear with these actions is that workers will lose their jobs.
As usual the demand for away tickets will far out strip the allocation from Dundee for the noon kick off on Sunday. Dundee come into the game with only six points and sitting 2 points above Aberdeen who hammered them 4-0 in their last game before the international break.
It’s been a rough start for the former Celtic player Stephen Pressley since taking over as manager at Dundee. In the SPFL he has seen his Dundee side also losing to Hibs on the opening day of the season as well as St. Mirren and in the local derby v Dundee United. Their only win of the league campaign came at home to Livingston. They have also picked up points at home to Motherwell on the road at Ibrox and Rugby Park.
Celtic fans will be expecting goals and all 3 points on Sunday to keep pressure on current SPFL leaders Hearts who travel to Kilmarnock for a 17:45 kick on Saturday. Let’s hope Killie can do us a favour on their plastic pitch ahead of our visit to Tynecastle the following Sunday.
The bookies make Celtic 1 to 4 on with draw 11/2 and a home win for Dundee 11/1. If you’re not travelling to the game it is being shown live on Sky Sports and streamed outside Ireland and the UK on Celtic TV.
