There should be no fear over Celtic visit

[BBC] Depending on Saturday's results, Dundee could kick off against Celtic just two points above the relegation play-off spot. Only a couple of weeks ago there was daylight between us and the bottom end of the table. Being dragged back into that fight brings a pressure we could do without.

At the time of writing, our aggregate score with Celtic this season stands at 3–3. In every meeting Dundee have given a strong account of themselves. More notably, Celtic have lost on each of their visits to the city this campaign - at both Dens Park and Tannadice.

There should be no fear about this fixture. The last meeting at Dens had Celtic well beaten and that performance should serve as a reminder of what this side is capable of. Celtic are not invincible but will raise their game for this one as the title race is becoming more of an uphill battle for them.

We're more than capable of getting a result, we probably should have gotten better results in our previous meetings with them in Glasgow. This weekend is the chance to settle the score on that front, it's the final stretch of the season with no more international breaks - the momentum in this run-in dictates this season's value. Two victories in the remaining seven games sees us hit the desired 38 points that Steven Pressley has targeted - the sooner we hit that mark the better.
