Stephane Henchoz failed to recover from an ankle problem and joined Shaun Maloney on the injury list, while Juninho dropped to the bench as the Celtic manager drafted in Ulrik Laursen and striker John Hartson, who missed the weekend win through suspension.

The champions were looking to put their title bid back on track after their Old Firm defeat to Rangers at Celtic Park.

Dundee manager Jim Duffy also made two changes from the side which lost to Hibernian, with Brent Sancho and Bobby Mann coming in and Joel Kitamirike and Tom McManus making way.
