Brendan Rodgers has made some notable changes to his Celtic lineup as they prepare to take on Dundee at Parkhead, prioritizing a balanced squad rotation while maintaining a strong team. Cameron Carter-Vickers returns to the starting XI, solidifying the backline alongside Auston Trusty, as Rodgers looks to address recent defensive concerns caused by injuries. The trusted defensive pair of Trusty and Liam Scales has performed admirably in Carter-Vickers’ absence, but the American’s return adds further stability.
In midfield, Luke McCowan retains his place after an impressive performance against Motherwell, where he managed to get on the scoresheet. With Callum McGregor and Nicolas Kuhn both absent, McCowan and Arne Engels will shoulder additional responsibilities, accompanied by Paulo Bernardo, Yang, and Luis Palma to drive the attack. Fan reactions on social media have been mixed, with some expressing surprise at McGregor and Kuhn’s continued absence, while others appreciate the rotation to keep players fresh.
Rodgers has made it clear that his focus is solely on securing three points at Parkhead, even as Aberdeen face Rangers in another high-stakes fixture. For Celtic, maintaining their unbeaten record and building momentum remain the priority, as they aim to hold onto the top spot in the Scottish Premiership.
