Celtic face a crucial Premiership encounter at Dundee this Sunday, seeking to close the gap in a tight title race while avenging their shock defeat to the same opponents earlier this season.
Match Information and Broadcast Details
The Scottish Premiership fixture between Dundee and Celtic is scheduled for Sunday, April 5, with kick-off precisely at 4:30pm BST. The match will be hosted at the Scot Foam Stadium at Dens Park, Dundee's home ground, which is anticipated to be packed to capacity for this high-stakes clash.

Team News and Historical Context
Celtic are cautiously optimistic about the fitness of defender Julian Araujo, who has been recovering from a thigh injury and could potentially return to action this April. Dundee will likely depend on defensive mainstays Lyall Cameron and Ricki Lamie to contain Celtic's formidable attacking threat.
Historically, Celtic have dominated this fixture, but Dundee secured a memorable 2-0 victory at home in October. Celtic have since responded with two subsequent wins against Dundee in both league and cup competitions.
Title Race Implications
Currently positioned third in the Premiership table, Celtic trail leaders Rangers and second-placed Hearts by five points. Hearts are also in action today with a 2pm kick-off at Livingston, broadcast on Sky Sports. Rangers ascended to the summit after defeating Dundee United 4-2 on Saturday, intensifying the pressure on Celtic to deliver a positive result at Dens Park.
This match represents a pivotal moment in Celtic's campaign, as they aim to reignite their championship challenge while settling a score from earlier in the season.
