It was a quiet flight this morning from Dublin at 6am on route to Glasgow. The flight was packed and there were plenty of familiar Celtic fans on board. Celtic v Dundee may not have the glamour of a midweek Champions League game but still Celtic fans are prepared to get out of their beds in the middle of the night to catch red eye flights and board buses bound for the Eastend of Glasgow. Incredible dedication and commitment to supporting our club home and away.
Confidence will be high after the Atalanta draw last week and the win over Motherwell at the weekend. Brendan Rodgers now feels he has the players in the squad to rotate key players when injured or needing a rest. CCV is back which gives the manager food for thought in the central defensive area.
All eyes will be on Luke McCowan against his old club if he starts after an impressive first start at the weekend. As a Celtic fan he will chomping at the bit to get on the pitch tonight.
Tonight that will be emotional after the death of Tommy Callaghan. Tommy starred for Celtic in the late and 1960’s & 70’s winning 14 major honours and was a regular at every home game working the lounges with George McCluskey and Dixie Deans. His presence around the place will be missed.
Celtic fans will also have one eye on cash strapped rivals, the rangers trip to Aberdeen to take on the inform team and our opponents at Hampden on Saturday evening in the semi-final of the League Cup.
Lets see how the SPFL table looks tonight when the final whistles sound at Celtic Park and Pittodrie.
Kick off is 19:45 and there are still a small amount of tickets for sale for the game which will be streamed live on Celtic TV. (Including Ireland & the UK)
